Real Madrid have reportedly indicated that they will not meet Ajax's asking price for Donny van de Beek.
The midfielder has been strongly linked with a switch to the Bernabeu at a time when Real are said to be looking for a cheaper alternative to Paul Pogba.
However, Marca claims that an alleged price-tag of €65m (£58.32m) is considered too much by Real, who have already made several high-profile additions this summer.
The stance of the La Liga giants could let in Paris Saint-Germain, with the French outfit allegedly willing to satisfy the demands of Ajax.
Van de Beek has just enjoyed the best campaign of his career, contributing a total of 12 goals and 12 assists in Eredivisie and Champions League fixtures.
