Sergio Ramos could be a free agent in the summer if he is unable to agree terms over a new contract with Real Madrid. He wants a new two-year deal despite the Liga champions' policy of normally giving one-year contracts to players over the age of 30. Manchester City are said to be monitoring the progress of the talks closely with the hope they could come in for him.

Manchester City are monitoring Sergio Ramos’ contract talks with Real Madrid, according to ESPN .

Ramos’ contract expires on June 30 and can already negotiate with other clubs should he wish to with less than six months left on his existing deal.

The report says that City boss Pep Guardiola is a big fan of the defender, widely regarded as one of the best in the world, and his hefty wage demands would not be a problem.

Could Messi and Ramos play together at Man City?

Ramos is set to turn 35 in March and is believed to want to stay at Real on a new two-year deal. But with negotiations still ongoing, City sense an opportunity to make an offer should talks break down.

City already have Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake, John Stones and Eric Garcia as centre back options.
