This again. Surely it's as easy as demanding an obligatory purchase at the end of the loan. He's just been drafted into Portugal's squad for the Euros. They can feck off with their choosing beggars routine.

Ooofff :(
Not sure i'd blame him, hasn't been a good season. Was kind of hoping next year he'd be more settled and we'd see much more of him. Hard to be optimistic about his future here with quotes like that.
Obviously not played enough.....im not sure he plays a huge amount of games anyway if he stays, was always the wrong signing for me....especially when £45m more would possibly have got Grealish.

I wouldnt blame him and personally I would sell him anyway

Brahim Diaz can continue in Milan, many contacts and talks between the parties. There is optimism.
This has been talked up as another loan spell with a purchase option, so it's not just a problem for United. Even Real Madrid have to deal with this.

We needed a RW,CB,CDM and the club buys Donny? Makes zero sense
Agree was always a poor signing from the start. Lot of people really bigged him up as a great signing at the time too on here. Good player, not a great player and never saw we he realyl fitted in other than a squad player. Still feel the same. He hasnt played enough but I dont see how he gets that many games anyway thogh....and people saying he has looke dgood when he has played, what are they watching? Generally when he has he has been anomynous and looked lost

Absolutely. He's still got plenty left.
Has he though? He is 35 after all. I love him as a player and a leader, actually thinka lot of people have under rated what a fantastic centre back and leader he has been for so long. Saw little of Madrid bar Europe last year, but to me when I saw him it looked liek that season of a dip the season before you see a player no longer has it anymore.

I dont think we should be looking for a short term fix, I think there are a godo handful of quality centre backs we can sign from just £25m to the more expensive ones, it isnt like the Cavani situation where nobody really avialable and also we dont have any brilliant young centre backs a year or so away. I think Mengi looks quite promising but I think we should be signign someone there for the next five years and there are possibilities

Backup for Fernandes when Pogba or Mata can fill ?

Or a third option,the club is clueless and used the old scattergun approach while not actually strenghtening the holes in the squad.
Yes and for £40m more we could have signed a player that would cover Fernandes, Rashford and have allowed us to sell Pogba and Mata in Grealish. Yet we spent a similar fee on VDB and too young rw....now we are looking to spend £80m on another right winger.

Generally I think Ole transfers have actually been good and of course longer term either of those yougnsters could turn into great signings, but VDB never did and never does make sense as a signing to me

Disagree. Hes miles better than them all
Think he has been under rated. But at the same token I dont agree with that, think its an over staetment. He fitted perfectly into that Liverpool midfield, not sure he does for PSG and he certainly isnt better than Veratti....but they are totally differnt players anyway

FYI, RM4Arab refers to Marca in their Tweet. When I looked up Marca's website (both Spanish and English), I couldn't any article, passage, or even a sentence in any of the Marca articles indicating this. I wonder if we'll possibly see this in the newspapers by any chance...

EDIT: The only other Marca article mentioning Varane after Ramos's departure news covers the three captains who'll take over Ramos next season, one of whom will be Varane. That article isn't written by José Félix Díaz. and it makes no mention of Varane renewing his contract.
So you are saying... there is a chance?

Either they want him or they dont, hate clubs trying to get another season loan for a cheap player with an obligation that means nothing. The important question of coruse is does anybody else want him though for a reasonable fee?

Personally would like us to offer him to them on the cheap in exchange for Romagnoli who will be cheap anyway with his contract situation. Gets rid of some deadwood and gets us a problem position filled, with a left footer, with leadership and experience for very little cost.If we are to bu 3/4 players this summer, one of them at least has to be cheap

It's been years since he last used us for a payrise, but I would still take Ramos in a heartbeat

Yeah same here and not afraid to say it one little bit, him & Marquinhos are my joint dream CB targets with Varane 2nd

Surely we would have heard something from a journo if it was us so can only see it being PSG
True. But I think the widespread belief until tonight was that he’d sign a new deal with Madrid..

I have nothing to back up my thoughts that were in for him by the way. Just a feeling :lol:

Yeah Ole has already seen the impact that an experienced born winner can have on this team up front and he should see Ramos as someone who could provide the exact same thing in defence as well

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.

I really don’t buy this tbh. Cavani was brilliant as a free signing but we still need a starting striker because of his fitness record and the fact he can’t play every game. We need a starting CB and would still need a starting CB even if we signed Ramos for the exact same reason. He only played 15 league games last year and suffered numerous different injuries. He’s 35. We’d just be kicking the can down the road. Whoever Madrid get to replace Ramos is who we should be targeting unless we can bag Varane.

It better not be with us, he is a walking red card.
Silva is great for our squad as a leader. Ramos is a bit of a gamble. Not real enthused about him getting involved with other players about their contracts.

Know I am mad but despite his age would only genuinely take Marquinhos over Ramos despite him being 35, have moved on from Varane because fully expecting him to renew as no way do Real let both go this summer

  • Atalanta wants Giuseppe Pezzella, a defender in Parma.
  • They're also monitoring Albert Sambi Lokonga.
    • Also targeted by Napoli
    • Arsenal offered 12 million Euros for him.

Yeah he didn't play great but he never had a run of games and only about 1000 minutes all season. Players who looked equally as poor got picked week in week out. So yeah I would be looking to move on if I was him because my coach obviously doesn't want to play me and I'd want to go somewhere I'd actually play.
What's his excuse been for all the mediocre seasons prior to this last one?

Ramos would be a great freebie for Utd. He might get a few red cards but he would be great for set pieces and organising the defence. Would also mean more money in the pot for player purchases. No brainer.

Do we offer him a package that he can’t refuse for 1-2 years and delay signing a long term younger player that will potentially be here for many years? I’d rather we sign the long term player.
