Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho won't allow Real Madrid president Florentino Perez a clear run at Tottenham star Dele Alli.
The England international, after his two goal performance in Tottenham's Champions League win over Real, has been penciled in at the top of Perez's shopping list for next summer.
Both the president and coach Zinedine Zidane are agreed they must bring Alli to Spain as soon as they can.
However, Don Balon says Mourinho is also interested in the midfielder and should Spurs show a willingness to sell, there's no chance of him allowing Real a free run at signing the midfielder.
And it's claimed Mourinho will be backed by United's board to the hilt of €200m so to outbid Real in any straight auction for Alli next summer.
