Florentino Perez told Sergio Ramos he will not be sold by Real Madrid under any circumstances during a long meeting in China.

Five weeks remain in the transfer window.

Ramos has not agreed a contract renewal at the Bernabéu and it is not yet clear whether he has finally given up on the move.

Manchester United have made two formal bids for Ramos, who has two seasons remaining on his deal.

Pérez sought to rebuild bridges, aware that his relationship with Ramos has become difficult, but more significant was his refusal to budge.
