Seville reject Real Madrid bid for Ramos

Real Madrid have had a £10 million offer for Seville defender Sergio Ramos.
 
After seeing his Seville miss out on Champions League qualification, president Jose Maria del Nido is ready to listen to offers for Ramos - but Real's opening offer fell short of his valuation.

Del Nido had originally claimed nothing less than Ramos' £18 million buyout clause would be considered. But with finances now tight due to their Champions League failure, he has informed Real they can sign Ramos for £16 million.

Real still see that price as too steep, but are confident they can convince Del Nido to sell for around £12 million as the summer market opens.
