Arsenal must break the bank to land Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann.
El Mundo Deportivo says the Gunners will have to stump up another £25m on top of their £60m proposal if they want to sign Griezmann.
The La Liga giants will not consider offers that come in below his £85m release clause.
Reports surfaced earlier this week which said Arsene Wenger had been secretly working on a deal for the Frenchman all summer.
But he has ultimately been unsuccessful in his attempts to land the Euro 2016 ace due to his unwillingness to match Atleti's valuation.
