Borussia Dortmund have earmarked Tottenham target Alvaro Negredo as a replacement for Robert Lewandowksi.
The Champions League semi-finalists fear they will lose their prize asset in the summer with Manchester United and Manchester City both heavily linked to the Poland international.
Dortmund will try everything in their power to keep hold of the 24-year-old, who has scored 30 times in 42 appearances for them this season, but are already casting their net wide in search of a player with enough quality to fill his boots.
Negredo was heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane in January amid reports Sevilla are in a financials pickle and willing to sell at a discount fee to get one of their highest paid stars off their payroll.
The 6ft 1in, 27-year-old Spaniard has not been as prolific as Lewandowski this term but has scored a respectable 18 goals for a Sevilla side which is not as productive as their German counterparts.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has again been linked with a summer swoop for Negredo to strengthen his Spurs strikeforce but reports in Spain suggest that Dortmund are about to be first to the punch with a bargain fee of £15million.
