Nottingham Forest target Jose Angel Carmona is set to stay at Sevilla.
According to the Sunday Mirror, the Tricky Trees had agreed a deal worth £9.55 million with the La Liga club for the 23-year-old.
But Carmona has rejected the opportunity to play for Forest, deciding to stay in Spain.
The Reds earlier looked at Rico Lewis, but the England international has edged closer to signing a new contract with Manchester City.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are keen to bolster their full-back options, with Neco Williams and Ola Aina currently their only senior cover for those roles.
Carmona, who mainly plays at right-back but can also operate in central defence, started 35 La Liga matches last season.
He has also played in the Champions League and Europa League with Sevilla and previously had loan spells with Elche and Getafe.
But the Spaniard is not interested in joining the West Bridgford outfit, which means they could look to bring back Matty Cash from Aston Villa.
Forest’s summer transfer window began with a setback as they lost winger Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United.
But they quickly moved to reinforce their attack, with Dan Ndoye, Omari Hutchinson, James McAtee and Arnaud Kalimuendo all joining the club.
Forest now turn their attention to bolster their defence as they aim to do well in the Premier League and Europa League this season.
Santo’s men started the new campaign with an excellent 3-1 triumph over Brentford last weekend, with Chris Wood bagging a brace and Ndoye scoring on his debut.
They will lock horns with Crystal Palace on Sunday at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.
