The Sergio Ramos to Manchester United transfer saga of last season pretty much summed up everything that is wrong with the club these days. They spent most of the summer trying to sign one defender and when they then missed out on him and others Louis van Gaal claimed he never wanted a centre back. Now someone else is after Ramos.
Ramos never really looked like he was going to move from the Bernabeu to Old Trafford and in the end maybe United got the better end of the deal when they got to keep David de Gea.
However this summer it's been reported that Chelsea will break the world record fee for a defender and British transfer record by signing Ramos for £63.5 million or at least they'll try. That's according to Spanish paper Don Balon.
The news could spell the end for John Terry's time at Stamford Bridge. The Chelsea captain's contract runs out at the end of the season and whilst he publicly came out to say he'd be off at the end of the season it was thought there was a chance Antonio Conte could yet renew his deal.
However signing 30 year old Ramos would put the end to that speculation, especially with Gary Cahill having recently signed a four year extension.
It would be massive money for a defender, especially one with discipline issues, is Ramos worth the money?
