Manchester United are willing to go as high as £45 million for Atletico Madrid ace Sergio Aguero.

Sport says United have informed Atletico they will pay the massive figure for the Argentina international, though the Spanish club's president Enrique Cerezo continues to refer them to the striker's £55 million buyout clause.

United chief executive David Gill is expected to hold talks with Cerezo next week in an attempt to find a compromise. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is eager to find an agreement for Aguero before preseason training begins next month.
