Manchester United have reportedly been informed that it will cost £125m to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez.
With the club remaining outside of the top four in the Premier League standings, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be provided with funds to make fresh additions during the January window.
A new central midfielder is a priority for United, with Saul allegedly being identified as one of the club's priority targets.
However, AS claims that Atletico will demand that the English giants pay the 25-year-old's release clause if they wish to complete a deal at the midway point of the campaign.
The Spaniard also has over six-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, leaving the La Liga side in a strong position regarding the player's future.
United could potentially fund a move for Saul with the sale of Paul Pogba to either Real Madrid or Juventus.
