The British club offered €60 million for Ramos and if that offer is accepted, they would let De Gea join Madrid this summer, per that same report.

Manchester City star Jesus Navas would not oppose Sergio Ramos’s potential summer move to Manchester United, although he has said he believes Ramos’s future is at Real Madrid.
Perez will tell Ramos that staying at Madrid is the best option for him and the club. He has also won the World Cup and the European Championship on two occasions with Spain.
Louis van Gaal confirmed Ramos is in his thoughts during his press conference earlier this week so perhaps he is confident of the move coming off if he is prepared to go public with his interest.
Should the Spaniard arrive, Smalling’s place in the team would come under threat. “Even when I signed [the fresh terms] there were five centre-backs who I had to work hard to get past”.
“Ramos is a fantastic teammate, a great footballer and I always wish him the best whatever he does”.
“We got together to enjoy oursleves during the holidays and I think he will be fully focused on Madrid, he’s a great professional”.
But the former Fulham defender earned Van Gaal’s trust in the final third of last year, starting 12 of the last 13 games, and was rewarded with a new four-year contract.

Smalling will look improve upon his displays from last season and help Manchester United fight for the league title in the coming season. “Once you set a benchmark it is matter of aiming higher”.
