Sevilla know Alves will leave

Sevilla coach Manolo Jiménez has admitted that Daniel Alves is likely to leave the club this summer, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are both heading the queue to land the talented Brazilian.

"Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will be able to retain [Alves] but such work is for the technical body and if he does depart then they will have to find a new Alves who can come in and do just as well," said Jimenez.

Alves is expected to leave for a figure believed to be in the region of £15 million.
