Liverpool have been told it will cost them £20 million to sign Real Betis winger Joaquin.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is scouring Europe for a right-sided winger and has made an approach to Betis president Manuel Ruiz de Lopera in the last fortnight about Joaquin's availability.
Liverpool are prepared to offer £7 million for the winger, but were met with a sharp response that only a straight cash offer of £20 million will see Joaquin leave the Seville club.
Joaquin wants to move on, but won't demand a transfer in order to stay on-side with Betis fans.
"I have a good relationship with the president and if a major offer comes in for me, we will sit down and discuss it," said the young attacker.
"No-one can question my commitment to Betis. We've won a title and also played in the Champions League while I've been here. My commitment has always been 100 per cent."
