Sevilla to bid for Brazil midfielder Ralf

Rio de Janeiro: Spanish football giants Sevilla have made a six million euro offer for Brazilian midfielder Ralf.

But Ralf's present club Corinthians said on Friday that a deal with the Spanish club was unlikely, reports Xinhua.

"We will only consider selling him if he asks to leave," Corinthians football director Roberto de Andrade told Uol. "But from what we know, that chance is very small."

Ralf, who resisted an offer to join Italian Serie A club Fiorentina in 2011, is among the highest paid Corinthians players with a reported monthly salary of $100,000.

Regarded as a defensive midfielder, Ralf has won eight caps for Brazil since his international debut in 2011.
