Real Madrid president Florentino Perez took advantage of their trip to San Sebastian to ask after one of Real Sociedad's young stars.
Real came away from the Anoeta with the three points and Florentino a price for Alvaro Odriozola.
The young fullback is on Real's shopping list as they seek a replacement for Danilo after his summer sale to Manchester City.
Diario Gol says before kickoff, Florentino asked La Real directors for a price on Odriozola - and learned the youngster's contract carries a €50m buyout clause.
A stiff fee, though it's suggested Florentino regards the price as reasonable for a player who coaching staff see as a potential long-term successor for Dani Carvajal over the next five years.
