Las Palmas fear being priced out of a loan move for unwanted Paris Saint-Germain winger Jese Rodriguez.
Jese is available for a temporary transfer when the window opens next month after finding playing time hard to come by at the Parc des Princes following his switch from Real Madrid in August.
The 23-year-old has made just 14 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice, and will drop further down the pecking order when PSG complete a deal for Wolfsburg's Germany international Julian Draxler.
A deal to join Las Palmas, his hometown team, is the player's reported preference but the Gran Canaria club's president Miguel Angel Ramirez accepts the finances involved mean the Liga side may miss out.
