Real Madrid are planning an £85m bid plus Gareth Bale in an attempt to get Paul Pogba to the Bernabeu.
The Spanish giants were heavily linked with Pogba in the summer, but Manchester United held firm.
The Frenchman made it known he saw his future outside and that remains true with Real's interest still live.
Bale meanwhile was almost led towards the exit door in the summer with a lucrative move to China very close.
The Welshman remains in the Spanish capital, but Zinedine Zidane would gladly see him go.
According to reports from Eldesmarque, Madrid are ready to test United's resolve once again.
United had set Pogba's asking price at £180m in the summer which was well beyond what Madrid could afford having spent massively on Eden Hazard and co.
But their failure to secure Madrid manager's top transfer target has been the catalyst in a reported relationship breakdown between him and president Florentino Perez.
Real pushed hard for Pogba in the summer and will do so again using Bale as bait for Utd
Zidane's interest in his compatriot remains high and the two conveniently met on a beach in Dubai, although both deny it was planned.
