Anderlecht are reluctant to sell Manchester United and Arsenal target Lucas Biglia, and have put a €15 million (£12.4m) price tag on his head according to RTBF Sport.

The combative midfielder has shone in impressive performances at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium, and has also broken into the Argentina international squad.

The 25-year-old has emerged as a potential January target for a number of big name European clubs, according to his agent, but the Belgian side are eager to hold on to their prize asset until at least the summer.

With Anderlecht currently leading the Pro League, it is thought that qualification for next season's Champions League would push Biglia's transfer fee up.

The ex-Independiente man has become a crucial player for Ariel Jacobs' men, and his current employers are eager to retain his services for the remainder of the season in a bid for domestic glory.
