AC Milan have to raise their bid if they are to prise Luis Fabiano away from Sevilla.

According to Sky Sports News, Fabiano's agent Jose Fuentes warned Milan that they must travel to Spain and raise their offer or risk losing out on the striker.

The Brazilian striker has also been linked with English side Arsenal but he favours a move to the San Siro.

Negotiations have stalled after Milan offered just Sevilla £12.5million but the Spanish side want £18million.

Rossoneri officials stated that the deal had come to 'a dead end' but Fuentes has called for the Italians to prove how much they want the Brazilian.

"We are waiting for Milan to take the first step and begin negotiations with Sevilla," Fuentes told Telelombardia.

"We cannot hang on for a week, because it will be easy for Luis Fabiano and Milan to reach an agreement on terms.

"Milan have got to fly to Seville, raise their offer and make a small sacrifice quickly to take him away. The player will cost £18million."

Milan fans are growing restless with the lack of transfer activity at their club especially following the sale of influential star Kaka to Real Madrid for £55million.

Despite the funds generated from the Kaka sale remaining untouched the Serie A giants still tried to land Fabiano for the cheaper price of £9million after speaking to the Rio and Stellar group who own a small percentage of the player's contract.

The move is said to have angered Sevilla but Milan general manager Adriano Galliani insists they were not going behind the Spanish club's back.

"It was a courtesy meeting, even if we explained that the only reference point for us in these negotiations are Sevilla.

"They are the only ones who can release the transfer."

Galliani increased doubts on the deal when he added that the Rossoneri may not look to increase their initial offer.

"Our offer remains the same: £12.5million. Sevilla do not agree and so for the moment we will wait and see what happens."
