Manchester United have reportedly refused to give up on their pursuit of Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos.
Earlier this month it was suggested that the Red Devils had failed with a bid in the region of £28m for the 29-year-old.
They were informed by Los Blancos officials that it would take an offer of at least £60m to prise Ramos away from the Bernabeu, but United are hopeful that a financial package of around £40m could tempt their Spanish counterparts to do business, according to AS.
The report adds that if Madrid were to reject that proposal, United would move on to other defensive targets.
Meanwhile, it is believed that Ramos will be offered the Madrid captaincy in a bid to keep him at the club.
