Real Madrid are getting ready to splash £150million on Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Italian reports.
The Serbian midfielder, 23, is wanted by several big clubs in Europe including Manchester United after an incredible season in Serie A.
Il Messaggero beleive Madrid are willing to meet Lazio's asking price of £132million and also pay an extra £18million in bonuses.
It is understood Milinkovic-Savic would be offered a five-year deal worth £100,000-a-week.
Madrid, who have won four out of the last five Champions Leagues, are keen to bring the average age of their squad down.
Lazio have accepted they will struggle to hold onto the 23-year-old after they missed out on Champions League football through a final day defeat to Inter Milan.
Juventus are also in the hunt for his signature but Lazio president Claudio Lotito would much rather sell him abroad.
The Serbian is in Russia for the World Cup and will not make a decision on his future until after the tournament.
