Sevilla president Jose Castro has ruled out releasing coach Jorge Sampaoli from his contract.
Linked with Barcelona, Sampaoli is said to be the No1 choice for the Argentine FA to replace the sacked Edgardo Bauza.
But Castro insists: "Sampaoli has another year of contract and if someone wants to enlist him, you have to pay his clause.
"Either they pay the clause, or he will respect his last year of contract.
"But if Argentina wants to pay for his clause, we will not stand in his way."
