Sergio Ramos is keen to seal a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer but has moved Manchester United to second place on his list of dream goals.
The legendary 35-year-old has left Real Madrid after 16 years at the club and is now looking for a new home, with a whole host of sides that are keen to capture a player who is seen by many as one of the best centers. backs around.
The list of reasonable suitors for Ramos is limited by his salary demands. He is looking for a huge salary from his next side, and according to AS (via Sport Witness) it is PSG that has made him the best offer.
Ramos is now perceived as pushing to join the French side, but there are some obstacles in the way, one of which is PSG’s interest in former Real Madrid teammate Raphael Varane.
PSG are chasing a deal for Varane this summer and may prefer him over Ramos, who struggled with injuries last season and is apparently nearing the end of his career.

If a transfer to PSG goes through, Ramos would consider moving to the Premier League, where he sees United as the most attractive destination for them all.
While Manchester City were recently considered to lead the race for Ramos’ signature, the defender seems to have changed. He’s obviously impressed with City’s recent success but Ramos sees United as a bigger club with more history, and he would prioritize a move to Old Trafford over a move to Etihad.
Another interesting suggestion for Ramos to consider is Roma and Jose Mourinho. Calciomercato claims that Mourinho sees a reunion with his former Real stalwart, but the chances of a move are slim to none due to Roma’s limited finances and lack of Champions League football.

All indications are that Ramos will go to PSG, which has already made him a lucrative offer and can offer the 35-year-old mass of cutlery, but it is not a clear deal yet and other teams are still initiating their cases.
Ramos obviously keeps an open mind for things right now, with United’s backup choice if the PSG movement falls through, but there is still plenty of time for a few more twists in this saga.
