Rafael Benitez insists Real Madrid will not include Sergio Ramos in a deal with Manchester United for David De Gea.

Ramos is keen on a transfer to United as he remains in a contract dispute with Real Madrid.

“In terms of Sergio Ramos, there’s a lot of talk about his situation,” Benítez told reporters in Melbourne. “For me, he is an enormous professional. In person, he applies himself, he does everything that the team and I ask of him.

“The president has already commented that he is staying with the club. I have spoken to Sergio at length in the summer about his ideas, about his future. I see Sergio as an integral part of our team, he’s a winner and that’s what we need in our team.”
