Villarreal are moving for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti has this week announced Morata can leave on-loan.
Marca says Villarreal are favourites for the striker as Real will only consider a straight loan, with no permanent option.
This demand has frightened off bigger European clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham and Juventus.
Villarreal will compete in the Europa League next season.
