Sevilla sent senior scout Jose Manuel Santos Hernandez to check out the 22-year-old, who has 10 caps to his name, last week as they consider a move for the South American.
Meanwhile, Norwich may send Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah out on loan in the New Year after his progress has been stalled by injury.
Derby County boss Paul Warne is a fan of the target man and tried to land him in his Rotherham days, so may go in again.
Sevilla’s interest in Nunez comes as the Spaniards surprisingly struggle – lying fourth bottom in LaLiga and level on points with the drop zone.
