The la Liga outfit, who finished third behind Barcelona and Real Madrid in 2008/09, have been linked with a move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Didier Zokora during the close-season.
However, any deal for the Ivory Coast international now appears to be hinging on whether Sevilla can successfully sell at least four players deemed surplus to requirements, with Aquivaldo Mosquera and Morgan De Sanctis expected to be heading for the Andalucians' exit door.
“We have a lot of money in the four or five players that we are trying to find a transfer for," Del Nido told AS.
"Everyone just has to stay calm.”
Spurs' Premier League rivals Sunderland are still believed to be keen on signing the former St Etienne man.
