The striker is a free agent after he was released by Southampton last month but won't be moving to Seville
Real Betis coach Pepe Mel has ruled out a move for striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo after revealing the club simply can't afford him.
Argentina-born Osvaldo, who spent the 2014-15 season on loan at Inter and Boca Juniors, is available on a free transfer after being released by Southampton last month.
Betis have been linked with the 29-year-old but Mel insists he will not be arriving in Seville, despite the player's desire to join the club.
"There's no chance he’s coming, why beat about the bush? I know that he was willing to make an effort to sign for Betis, but even then it's not doable for us," Mel was quoted as saying by AS.
"With Osvaldo we can't allow ourselves to spend everything on one player, because then the other issues won't be fixed.
"Common sense tells you the money needs to be spread out across all the positions where it’s needed."
Osvaldo is reported to be set to complete his move to Portugual in the coming days as the club seek to replace Colombia international Jackson Martinez, who joined Atletico Madrid earlier this month.
