According to Dailymail Manchester United are close to signing Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos in a dramatic twist to the David de Gea saga.
Ramos is upset that Madrid have allowed his contract to run down into its final two years and has told advisers he wants out of the club with Old Trafford his preferred destination.
If United can make the deal happen their goalkeeper De Gea will effectively swap places with his Spain team-mate Ramos, in the biggest piece of business between the two clubs since Real signed Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.
Ramos, who signed from Sevilla in 2005, has a €200m buyout clause but Real are likely to ask for around €65m for a player who has won everything in the game for both club and country.
The 29-year-old was unhappy with the sacking of former coach Carlo Ancelotti and has become further disillusioned by Real’s failure to give him the €10m-a-year contract renewal he feels he deserves.
