Update on Sergio Ramos’ Real Madrid future amid Man United links
Sergio Ramos is reportedly not looking for a switch to Manchester United or Liverpool and will instead agree to new terms with Real Madrid.
Not only is he a Real Madrid legend, the Spain international is club captain and it would’ve been a shock if they were to let him go without fighting to keep him. Ramos is part of the furniture at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Ramos is still a top defender and he’s one with winning mentality. He scores big goals and would be a positive addition to every Premier League side, but it looks like he’ll be staying in Madrid — possibly for the remainder of his career.

Chelsea Considering Julian Nagelsmann as Frank Lampard Replacement
Chelsea have a shortlist of potential managers to replace Frank Lampard as boss of the club – and amongst the names already linked with the job is RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann, according to Christian Falk.
The Blues are rumoured to have been considering the future of boss Lampard for some time now, with the club without a win in the Premier League in their last five games.
It’s a run that has seen them drop down to ninth in the table and owner Roman Abramovich is believed to be considering potential replacements.
However, the list is also believed to include current RB Leipzig boss Julien Nagelsmann, a name that has been linked with the job in the past but not officially linked with the job as Tuchel, Rodgers, Ralph Hassenhuttl and Massimiliano Allegri have recently.
