Tottenham are ready to hand Gareth Bale a new pay-rise after his stunning form in Europe.
The Daily Mail says Bale's brilliant form this season, including two spectacular performances against Inter, has alerted the world's biggest and richest clubs.
But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will make the first move in an effort to quash any attempt to lure the 21-year-old away from White Hart Lane by offering to increase his pay and extend a deal which runs until 2014.
Bale is earning a basic wage of £30,000 a week under a contract signed in May after helping Tottenham finish in the top four of the Barclays Premier League for the first time. This is less than half what the club's top-paid players - Robbie Keane and Rafael van der Vaart - receive and Levy is prepared to reward Bale for his rapid progress.
Spurs have a modest wage structure compared to Europe's top sides, although they do have a reputation for improving terms for young players who impress. They cannot compete on a pay scale with Real Madrid, Inter, Barcelona and Manchester City but will invite Bale's advisers to open talks. It could see the Wales international catapulted to more than £50,000 a week.
