Real Madrid are reported to have turned down a "blank cheque" from Manchester City for former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Blues eventually shelled out £32.5million for Real's Brazil striker Robinho following Monday's shock takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group.
But before sealing that deal, Spanish daily Marca claims Real chose to reject an even more staggering offer for another Bernabeu superstar - Dutch striker van Nistelrooy.
The paper claims when City were told van Nistelrooy was not for sale, they came back with a huge bid that was rejected.
Then, in a final attempt to land the ex-Old Trafford star, they reportedly offered Madrid a blank cheque and told them to name their price for van Nistelrooy. But once again, Madrid refused.
It is the latest bizarre rumour to come out of Monday's deadline-day frenzy, which was kicked off by that City takeover.
As well as landing Robinho, the Blues also tabled a British-record transfer bid for Dimitar Berbatov and were also linked with the likes of David Villa and Mario Gomez.

its probably just a you name your price kinda offer, but at the end of the day even if Real will to put out a 50m valuation on Ruud, ManC can just laugh off it as stupid valuation, ManC might be willing to pay slightly more then market rate to get their targets but it will still bound by how much buyers value their targets, to strike a deal, it'll need both parties agreement, without either its not going to do thru..simple as that..
