Sevilla coach Unai Emery has admitted that striker Alvaro Negredo will "most likely" leave the club this summer.
The Spain international has been linked with a move to Manchester City along with European clubs after impressing in his four years at the La Liga side.
"The most likely situation is that he will leave," Emery said in a press conference.
"It's possible the club can't reach an agreement for him, but we are prepared, we have spent some time working on alternatives."
The 27-year-old scored 25 goals in 36 appearances last season for Emery's side.
