Sevilla say they have turned down a "very good" offer from Liverpool for Luis Alberto.

Reports suggest the Spanish club want €8 million for the midfielder.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Barcelona B, but they have decided to not make the deal permanent.

Alberto can play in midfield or up front and has been linked with the Reds since the start of the summer.

He has made seven first team appearances for the club he joined aged 12 in 2004.
