His father and agent Cicinho revealed that talks are planned with Spurs officials regarding the midfielder's future.
"Gio wants to leave Spurs because he is not playing and is not happy," he said.
"The objective is Sevilla and we're meeting Spurs directors next week to find a solution."
Sevilla had a £4.5m bid for the 22-year-old rejected in the summer.
