Manchester United are resigned to losing David de Gea, but they will not sell him this summer unless Real Madrid include Sergio Ramos as part of a swap, according to multiple reports.
Madrid have made it clear they want De Gea, and sources at Old Trafford say a tentative £25million was made for the goalkeeper by the Spanish giants earlier this summer.
But the proposal was rejected and United are determined to play hard ball with Madrid president Florentino Perez over their star goalkeeper.
The reports say United have all but given up hope of persuading De Gea to sign the new £200,000-a-week deal that has been on the table since November, and know he will leave this summer or next, but they are in no rush to let their two-time player of they year depart either.
United have told Madrid they will only sell De Gea to Real in this window if Ramos is part of the deal, and would rather let De Gea run down his contract than sell him for Madrid's cash offer.
Press Association reported United have also become irritated by the suggestion that they have to sell De Gea because of Madrid's status as a football super power.
