Real Madrid make £15.6m bid to land Lazio midfielder Lucas Biglia
That is according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, who claim new Real boss Rafa Benitez considers Biglia to be the ideal signing to improve his midfield.
The 29-year-old played in the 2014 World Cup final with Argentina and has been impressing at this summer's Copa America.
Reports in Italy suggest Lazio are holding out for bids of £21m, but Real are confident £15.6m will be enough to land the defensive midfielder.
Manchester United have also been keeping tabs on Biglia going into the summer window, with Louis van Gaal more than capable of meeting Lazio's asking price.
