As indicated by transfer news from Express, Manchester United’s recent target Sergio Ramos needs a mammoth salary of £10m each year. PSG, United, and Sevilla need the Real Madrid legend on a free transfer. Sevilla is certainly out of the race as Ramos admitted that he will not join them.
The Real Madrid captain is set to leave the club following a trophy-laden spell of 16 years at the Santiago Bernabeu. During this time, he has also scored 101 goals and provided 40 assists. Scoring 100 goals as a center-back is actually quite impressive, a feat that not many can achieve.
Ramos dispelled any confusion in regards to his exit. He asserted that he at first needed a two-year deal however the club just offered him one. While he needed to accept the one-year deal later, but then found out that it had an expiration date on it.
Since Ramos is set to turn into a free agent, a few clubs have shown interest in signing the World Cup winner. Among them are Manchester United, who need to sign another world-class center-back to partner Harry Maguire.
In any case, even after not requesting a transfer fee after being a free agent, Ramos is supposed to be requesting an eye-watering £10m each year as salary.
This isn’t the first time that Manchester United has been targeting the incredible defender. In 2015, there was another interest from United but Ramos signed a new contract with Real Madrid back then.
Manchester United will still be careful with the deal as they don’t want to pay needlessly for a player who is prone to injury at this stage. Maybe United will be hoping to get Raphael Varane which is a more suitable target than Sergio Ramos.
