Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly refused to lower their £75m asking price for Toby Alderweireld, who has been identified as a key target for Manchester United.
The Belgium international has been regularly linked with United since the start of the transfer window but so far, they have made little progress in negotiating a deal.
According to The Mirror, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has stood firm with the price tag of Alderweireld and has indicated United that they must trigger their £75m valuation for his services.
Alderweireld presently has a year left on his remaining deal with Spurs but the north London club have the option of extending his stay by a further 12 months.
Nevertheless, the Belgian's extension clause is said to involve a release clause of around £25m and Spurs risk the option of losing him for a knockdown price next summer.
Aside from Alderweireld, United have been linked with moves for Marquinhos and Leonardo Bonucci as they seek to recruit a new centre-back before the transfer deadline.
