Sporting Lisbon have told skysports.com that it would take €20million (£13.5million) to secure their starlet Nani, amid claims that Tottenham had expressed an interest.
The 20-year-old forward is likened to Cristiano Ronaldo - and the Manchester United ace has admitted he would love Nani to follow him to Old Trafford.
Indeed, The Red Devils are one of the clubs who have been showing a keen interest for a number of months, as have Premiership rivals Chelsea.
Spurs, though, are the latest club to look at Nani - but reports suggest that they would be unwilling to offer more than €10million (£6.7million).
"The club that wants the kid have a price, €20million, only by this money would we be disposed to let Nani leave," a Sporting spokesman confirmed to skysports.com.
"We know of the interest of several English clubs for Nani, and that is normal because of his quality - but until this moment we have received no offer in writing."
Nani's agent Jorge Mendes admits there is a great deal of interest in Nani.
"The decision depends on Sporting because the player has a deal," Mendes told skysports.com.
"But Nani is a player of enormous potential and other big clubs have asked about his situation."
Nani's current deal with Sporting is due to expire next year.
A lot of interest being shown in him now....
