Paul Pogba has been issued a transfer ultimatum by Real Madrid ahead of a potential summer switch.
The Manchester United star is wanted by Zinedine Zidane as a marquee signing, alongside Chelsea's Eden Hazard.
And the Frenchman has been told he must sign this summer or Real Madrid will never take him to the Santiago Bernabeu, report the Mirror.
United boss Ole Gunner Solskjaer has said he wants to rebuild his team around Pogba - but a transfer fee of up to £160million for Pogba would go a long way to help him revamp the Red Devils squad.
And with David de Gea and Romelu Lukaku also potentially leaving the club, the Norwegian could end up with a huge war chest for summer signings.
Pogba has spoken about his dream of playing for Real Madrid and appears desperate to make the switch to Spain but Zidane wants to rebuild a side that has struggled this campaign.
They were knocked out of Europe by Ajax while they languish in third in La Liga with Barcelona sealing the title.
And Zidane has told Mino Raiola that Pogba is needed this summer or not at all, according to The Sun .
It may not just be a straight £160 million fee that lures Pogba to the Bernabeu, with a couple of Real players potentially moving the other way.
Spanish sources say both Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos has been offered and according to a translation in TeamTalk , Kroos is a player that interests the Old Trafford hierachy.
But it's actually Raphael Varane who United want to underpin any Pogba deal.
The highly-rated French defender is just coming into his prime - and Solskjaer sees him as a lynchpin of a new-look defence.
Madrid won't want to let him leave - but they've always set their stall with creative players like Pogba over reliable defenders.
