"I can say that, without any doubts, the player wants to go to Liverpool," said Rodriguez Baster.
"Personally I have not listened to any other club, although some have rung and I have passed them on to Sevilla, but what Daniel wants to is to play for Liverpool.
"The two sides are getting closer, we are still quite a way apart, but if the president of Sevilla has said that Sevilla are resigned to losing him, who am I to contradict it?
"Daniel was not looking to leave Sevilla, but there are times when - without actually having forced the issue - you want to improve yourself.
"Daniel is very happy here with the fans, the club and with everything, but every player in the world always wants to play for a bigger club.
"I don't think I can give a timescale for this because there are differences, but we'll see."
Sevilla have been holding out for £12m for Alves but are likely to drop their asking price to £10m since the Brazilian is not interested in joining any club but Liverpool.
