La Liga outfit Sevilla are unwilling to match Blackburn Rovers’ valuation of Ben Brereton Diaz this summer, according to a report from The Sun. It is understood that whilst Blackburn will not let Brereton Diaz go for less than £20m in the current transfer window, Sevilla are only looking to offer the Championship side around half of this amount.
Rovers recently opted to extend the forward’s stay at Ewood Park for another year by triggering a clause in his contract. A stand-out performer in the second-tier last season, the Chile international managed to illustrate that he is more than capable of thriving at this level.
In the 37 appearances that he made in the Championship during the previous campaign, Brereton Diaz managed to find the back of the net on 22 occasions whilst he also chipped in with three assists.
Despite the forward’s fantastic displays, Blackburn were unable to secure a place in the play-offs earlier this year as they struggled for consistency in the closing months of the term.
