Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is at loggerheads with his board over the planned sale of Fernando Gago.
Real are willing to sell Gago and Mahamadou Diarra in January - and while Mourinho agrees with offloading Diarra, he does not want to lose the Argentine.
Mourinho sees Gago as cover in the Copa and Liga games leading up to Champions League ties.
But Real chiefs want to cash in and have already offered the midfielder to Atletico Madrid in recent days. Sevilla have also asked about Gago leading up to the market opening on Saturday.
