Sergio Ramos has reportedly agreed a new contract to stay at Real Madrid.
The defender is wanted by Manchester United and is believed to have previously told officials at the Bernabeu that he wishes to move to Old Trafford this summer.
But respected Spanish newspaper Marca now claims that Ramos is close to to signing a new deal with Madrid after a crunch meeting with club president Florentino Perez in Guangzhou yesterday.
There has been a theory that Ramos, 29, was only ever using United’s interest as leverage to secure improved terms on a contract that will likely mean him seeing out his career with Real.
The Red Devils have reportedly had two bids rejected for the World Cup winner, and negotiations now seem to have stalled over a transfer which would also have big repercussions for David de Gea.
Spain’s new number one has been heavily linked with Los Blancos, but United would reportedly only be willing to sell the goalkeeper, whose contract expires next summer, if they got Ramos in return.
