Alves had said last summer he would like to come to Anfield, but Seville are now hoping to tie the player down beyond his current contract date of 2011.
Alves said, "I have started talks and I want a quick solution to close the subject as soon as possible. I believe that we will reach an accord and am not worried about it. I'm happy at Sevilla because the club have always treated me sensationally."
