Alvaro Morata's agent and father turn up at Real Madrid offices for talks over striker's move to Manchester United
* Manchester United are closing in on the signing of striker Alvaro Morata
* Morata's agent arrived at Real Madrid's offices for talks on Monday lunchtime
* He was accompanied by the player's father Alfonso, according to reports
Alvaro Morata's move to Manchester United appears to be edging closer after the striker's agent and father attended talks with Real Madrid on Monday.
Reports in Spain claim Juanma Lopez and Alfonso Morata turned up at Real's offices at around noon local time for a meeting with club officials in the hope of finding a middle ground over his valuation.
The session lasted just under an hour, according to AS.
Morata, valued at around £70million by Madrid, is a top transfer target for United this summer.
However, the Red Devils have yet to agree a price for the 24-year-old, who scored 20 goals in 43 appearances last season.
News of the meeting between Lopez and Real adds to the momentum behind the potential transfer.
Last week, it was claimed that the former Juventus frontman took time out from his honeymoon to fly back to Spain in an effort to accelerate the process.

United are short of Madrid's valuation hence the dismissive comment from president Florentino Perez last week when he said: 'I don't think we're in negotiations with Manchester United, which is not to say that there are people around him who are talking, which is normal.
'I have read that we have reached an agreement, I do not know how many million times, but it is not true.'
Madrid expect to sell right-back Danilo to Juventus for £17.5million though Chelsea have also made an enquiry for the Brazilian who can also play on the left.
United have been frustrated in their negotiations over targets so far as they look to add another four players before the season starts.
