Sevilla are making a "great effort" to bring Stevan Jovetic and Ever Banega back to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, says president Jose Castro.
Banega left Sevilla to join Inter on a free transfer last July after two exceptional campaigns in Andalusia, playing a vital role as he picked up two Europa League medals.
They are also keen on Banega's Inter colleague Jovetic, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Sevilla, with a €13 million buy option included in the deal.
Castro told Il Messaggero: "We are trying to make a great effort to get him [Jovetic], but not in line with the conditions initially agreed upon with the purchase option of €13m."
On Banega, Castro added: "It is true that we are interested, but for the moment we have only begun to speak.
"We need to wait and see what will happen. The player wants to come, but we have to reach an agreement with Inter."
Sevilla also face the prospect of a close-season fraught with speculation about their own players, and Steven N'Zonzi appears to be the most popular.
Juventus have regularly been touted as favourites for the midfielder, but Castro is sticking to his guns and has told suitors that they will have to meet the Frenchman's €40m release clause if they wish to prise him from Sevilla.
"We want Steven to stay," Castro affirmed. "If any team wants him, they know there is a termination clause."
