Real Madrid are eager to see Benfica sell Ezequiel Garay this summer.
Manchester United boss David Moyes is expected to approve the Argentine's signing this week as he returns from a short summer break.
Record says Real will welcome the deal, which is likely to cost United £17 million, as they'll be entitled a massive 50 per cent of the defender's sell-on fee.
United and Benfica have had an agreement over Garay since January.
