AS Monaco want to keep hold of midfielder Adrien Silva.
Silva joined ASM in January on-loan from Leicester City and has shone in a losing team. The arrangement does not include a permanent option.
However, France Football says ASM have seen enough to seek to buy him outright.
And it's suggested ASM would be willing to discuss a deal which would involve Youri Tielemans, who is impressing at Leicester on-loan from Monaco.
ASM rate Tielemans in the €40m class.
