Manchester United are reluctant to meet Kieran Trippier's £20million valuation set by Atletico Madrid, according to reports.
Sportsmail understands United remain in dialogue over a deal for the England defender having had an opening offer reportedly in the region of £10m rejected last week.
The 30-year-old - who won LaLiga with Diego Simeone's side in 2020-21 - is one of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's key summer targets but BBC Sport claim his current price tag is not one the Old Trafford side are willing to stump up.
The report claims this reticence - despite Solskjaer's admiration of his versatility and desire to provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka - stems from Trippier's age and the fact he has just one year left on his contract at the Wanda Metropolitano.
