AS Roma have told Real Madrid they are only interested in dealing in straight cash for defender Walter Samuel.
Real are willing to offer striker Fernando Morientes in a clean swap for the Argentina international.
But Roma are refusing to budge from their position, despite Samuel's unhappiness with their new contract offer.
The Serie A club have tabled a deal worth 40 per cent less than he is currently earning.
Samuel's agent, Raul Oliveros, told Marca, "Samuel is happy in Roma, but his dream is to play for Real Madrid. No player in the world can deny dreaming of playing for Real Madrid."
