The progress made in recent days between Florentino Pérez and Sergio Ramos during the Asian tour seems to have unlocked negotiations regarding the renewal of the Madrid center-back and in England they seem to be giving up on the possibility of seeing him in a Manchester United shirt.
The Daily Mail reports this Monday that the hopes of the English team vanished after the meeting held on Sunday night between Florentino Pérez, José Ángel Sánchez, Sergio Ramos and René Ramos in Guangzhou. All parties expressed their points of view and the positions now seem closer, although there is still no agreement for the renewal.
Information from the newspaper The Guardian also suggests pessimism for the fans of the ‘red devils’. The fact that Ramos still has two years left on his contract limits the option of stretching the rope. In addition, Florentino Pérez has made it clear that he will not be sold under any circumstances.
This change in the negotiations favors Real Madrid, which now shows double tranquility. The white team is closer to ensuring the permanence of one of the pillars of the team and at the same time leaves the ball in the Manchester United court when deciding the future of David de Gea.
Now it is possible that Manchester United refuses to negotiate with Real Madrid for the Spanish goalkeeper after the move by the white board with the central defender from Camas, but winning that battle would not mean winning the war as the goalkeeper, in all probability, will end up wearing the Real Madrid shirt next season.
That is the dilemma currently faced by the vice president of United, Ed Woodward: to lower his head and accept a figure close to 30 million euros or to rely on pride and delay his signing for Real Madrid until June 2016. Just in case, the English team has presented Sergio Romero this Monday “in the face of the threat that De Gea will leave,” as expressed by coach Louis Van Gaal.
