Piatti will not be sold cheaply

Recently relegated Spanish outfit Almeria have issued a warning to clubs that prized asset Pablo Piatti will not be sold on the cheap.

Having signed the Argentine playmaker for €7m three years, the club are now looking for at least €8m from potential suitors.

Tottenham currently head the list of potential suitors but Sporting Director Alberto Benito is adamant he will not be held to ransom over the sale of the diminutive playmaker.

"We are not going to talk money, Paulo is important to us and everything is under consideration." he said.

"Bids have come, but he will not be going for three, or four, or seven or even eight - from there we will see what teams want to do."

Wigan Athletic, Athletico Madrid, Sevilla, Udinese and Lille have also been credited with an interest for Piatti.
