Sergio Ramos is determined to leave Real Madrid to join Manchester United this summer.

Ramos has been informed by Real Madrid that they received a formal bid from United valued at £28.5 million (€40 million) and that he has told the club he wants to leave this summer.

Manchester City also has interest in Ramos, but he's informed Real Madrid that he only has interest in United.

United are determined to sign Ramos and made a bid prior to the player meeting the Madrid chief executive, José Ángel Sánchez, last week. 

Ramos has two years remaining on his contract but negotiations for a renewal have reached a stalemate.

Manchester United has made a £28.6 million offer to Real Madrid for Sergio Ramos.

The Red Devils believe the 29-year-old wants to leave Real after they failed to offer him an extension to his contract, which expires in 2017.

United is trying to use the transfer of David De Gea as leverage.

Morgan Schneiderlin has also been linked to United's central defense.

Arturo Vidal is not close to joining Arsenal on a transfer from Juventus.

Spanish radio station Cadena Cope claimed that the move for Chile midfielder Vidal is "close to completion" and that a £21 million fee had been agreed, but the information has not been confirmed.

Arsenal are in the market for a defensive-minded midfielder of Vidal's skill-set.

Arda Turan has revealed that his agent is listening to offers for him to leave this summer.

Three top English clubs have reportedly made bids for his services.

Reports in the Spanish press have claimed that the Turkey international, who has two years left on his contract with Atletico, is negotiating with Chelsea and Manchester United, while he has been strongly linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

Bastian Schweinsteiger has one year remaining on his contract and has said he will hold talks with Bayern this summer to determine whether he will stay or move onto Manchester United.

"I would like to win the Champions League again and play as successfully as we did in the last few years," he told Sport1. "We have been champions for three consecutive years and I believe that no team has won the title four years in a row. That is a motivation."

Schweinsteiger will turn 31 in August but does not think it has put him at a disadvantage, saying: "You gain experience year by year. You learn to judge situations and act on them."

Carlos Bacca has confirmed he has agreed personal terms for a move to AC Milan from Sevilla.

Bacca, who is also a target for Liverpool, has a buyout clause in his contract that is reported to be set at €30 million.

The 28-year-old's agent, Sergio Barila, told Marca at the weekend that the Colombia striker had agreed to join Milan and Bacca himself has now said a move is in place.

"It needs to be confirmed, but what my person of confidence said is true: we've reached an agreement with Milan, which is the club with 100 percent of the possibility [of signing me]," he told reporters in Colombia.

Milan still need to agree upon a transfer fee with Sevilla.

Andrea Pirlo will sign with New York City FC of the MLS next week.

Pirlo, 36, will sign an 18-month contract with NYCFC, taking him through the 2016 season, with an additional option for 2017, according to the source. 

Pirlo will begin training with NYCFC on July 21st and will be eligible to make his debut on July 26th.

Pirlo has one year left on his contract at Juventus but is very close to Bianconeri president Andrea Agnelli, who would not stand in Pirlo's way if he wanted to join MLS this summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo has denied reports he has fallen out of favor with Florentino Perez and could be seeking a move from Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has barely made any public statements since a Champions League defeat in March to Schalke. 

Ronaldo went out of his way to show support for Carlo Ancelotti before he was fired as manager.

“I would sincerely like the false reports to stop and to be left a little in peace,” Ronaldo was quoted as saying by the Portuguese sports newspaper A Bola.

“Reports that I have sought to create conflicts between myself and Real Madrid are absolutely false. I am very happy at the best club in the world and very focused and confident of a new season full of successes.”

West Ham has completed a £10.7 million signing of Dimitri Payet from Marseille.

Payet can play in a number of attacking positions, adding depth and variation to a frontline that was exposed by injuries and loss of form in the second half of last season.

“West Ham really showed me that they wanted me to come, both the joint-chairmen [David Gold and David Sullivan] and the manager,” Payet told the club’s website.

“That’s very important for me. I was also keen to sign up to a clear project. West Ham’s is very interesting and matches perfectly with my ambitions.

“Firstly I spoke with the manager, who really wished for me to come here and had been watching me a lot. He made it clear that he wanted me to sign and that was important in my choice.

“I’m an attacking footballer and that they’re counting on me to help achieve that gives me a sense of responsibility. It’s true that it’s taken a little while but that’s normal – negotiations are like that. But now that it’s done, I’m very happy.”

The versatile Payet topped the Ligue 1 assist charts last season with 16 in 36 appearances, as well as scoring seven goals for a Marseille side who came fourth in Ligue 1 last season. 

Real Madrid plans on rebuffing offers from Manchester United for Sergio Ramos as they want to discuss his future with the club.

United are reported to have had a £35 million bid for Ramos rejected, but are said to be prepared to table an improved offer.

Ramos is reported to be unhappy that his contract at the Bernabeu has been allowed to run down to its final two years.

United wants Ramos in exchange for David De Gea.
