Real Madrid Just €5m between asking price and offer

Real Madrid and Manchester United are closing in on a deal for the transfer of Alvaro Morata, with just five million euros now separating the Spanish side's asking price and the English club's proposal.

To sign off on the sale, Los Blancos are looking to receive 80m euros and the Red Devils have now raised their offer to 75m euros.

Given that they are so close to an agreement, this transfer could be completed within the coming hours.

That would grant Jose Mourinho his wish of reuniting with the 24-year-old, who he has been in regular contact with over the past few weeks to reassure him that a switch to Old Trafford would indeed come to fruition.
