Sevilla have held positive talks with Porto as they look to complete a €20 million (£17.8m/$23.4m) deal for striker Vincent Aboubakar, Goal can reveal.
The Liga outfit are keen to bolster their forward line ahead of the new season as new manager Pablo Machin aims to bring in support for Wissam Ben Yedder.
Machin had been hopeful of completing a move for Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi, but the Blues are reluctant to let the Belgium international leave Stamford Bridge despite their pursuit of a new No. 9 themselves.
He has now turned to Aboubakar, with an offer on the table that is close to the Portuguese champions' valuation of the 26-year-old.
