The LaLiga giants are also said to have had approaches for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Timo Werner and Lautaro Martínez rebuffed.

Monaco, however, are unwilling to lose their top scorer midway through the season and could even offer the 29-year-old improved terms.

Ben Yedder has scored 15 goals in 22 appearances this season.
