Real Madrid fancy landing Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea on the cheap this summer.
The Mirror says European champions Real will hit United with a £15million bid for the 24-year-old - almost £3m less than the Reds paid Atletico Madrid in 2011.
United are demanding £30m for their No1, but that valuation is deemed unrealistic for a player who has just 13 months left on his contract.
An Old Trafford insider insisted on Saturday the club are still waiting for De Gea to officially confirm he will not be signing a four-year extension but insist that finance is not an issue, having tabled a £200,000-a-week offer.
