Real Madrid are reluctant to sell Angel di Maria.
The midfielder is a target for Manchester United and PSG this month and was expected to be sold.
ABC says, however, that Real have informed Di Maria's camp that they do not want to lose him this summer.
There is a suspicion from intermediaries that Real's move has been made in order to hike up Di Maria's price.
