Pumas UNAM of Mexico are increasing their efforts in discussions with Sevilla to finalise an agreement for the transfer of Kelechi Iheanacho.
Sevilla are reportedly open to his departure and aim to receive at least a million euros for the transfer.
Iheanacho, who joined on a free transfer from Leicester and is among the highest earners in the team, has not entirely convinced the team but has been given playing time during pre-season.
The Nigerian striker has yet to score in the league and was loaned to Middlesbrough in January, where he returned to the English Championship.
Currently, he is attempting to gain the favour of coach Matías Almeyda, after scoring a remarkable goal against Schalke 04 in Germany.
With Isaac injured, Iheanacho is filling in as the second option behind his fellow Nigerian Akor Adams.
However, his situation is not as severe as that of Rafa Mir, who has been excluded from all friendlies and is being considered for transfer.
Despite his efforts to make an impression, Sevilla are eager to facilitate his transfer to free up funds, prompting Pumas to push for a quick negotiation.
