Sevilla's pursuit of Jordan Amavi is over with the Aston Villa left-back reportedly failing a medical at the club.

"The only thing I can say is that this transfer is not going to be made because it is impossible," Castro added.

Aston Villa owner and chairman Tony Xia hit out at Sevilla over the cancellation of the proposed deal, which was reported to be worth around £8million.

"JA's medical report was good," Xia wrote on Twitter. "Someone hi-level [at Sevilla] didn't agree with the transfer&found a reason of injury history which is really unfair to JA.

"Very low. I have to say, from a businessman's viewpoint. Credibility and integrity is something very basic."
