Rapper Kanye West is reportedly "desperate" to buy pop legend Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch as a gift for his wife Kim Kardashian West.

The huge property, which was owned by the late "Thriller" singer from 1988 to 2005 and included an amusement park and petting zoo, went up for sale for $100 million.

Kanye, 37, wants to buy it as he is said to have fallen in love with the 2,400-acre estate after several visits. However, the "All day" hitmaker has asked for a $15 million reduction on the asking price of the ranch, located in California.

"Kanye is desperate to own Neverland but he's not prepared to pay the price they want," a source told dailystar.co.uk.
