Manchester United and Manchester City are on alert after reports in Spain claimed there was little chance of Sergio Ramos signing a deal at Real Madrid following a clash with club officials over Kylian Mbappe.
The centre-back, 35, will become a free agent when his contract ends on June 30.
Spanish outlet AS claim there has been a breakdown in the relationship between Ramos and president Florentino Perez.
One of the main reasons was that Ramos was among the group of Real Madrid players unhappy with plans for a 10 per cent pay-cut due to the pandemic and the lack of supporters in the stadium.
