Manchester United are in talks with the minders of Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero.
Marca says United have spent the past 48 hours sounding out the Argentina international about whether he is serious about a move to Old Trafford.
The Premiership champs are willing to offer Aguero £100,000-a-week to bring him to England - which represents a massive increase on his current Atletico salary.
If Aguero accepts the offer, United chief David Gill will step up negotiations with Atletico about talking them down from their demands that the striker's £55 million buyout clause will only be considered.
