Real Madrid Coach Zinedine Zidane held a face-to-face meeting with captain Sergio Ramos to persuade him to stay at the club, report Marca.
On Friday, Marca followed up on a report from La Sexta that the central defender has interest from Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain while he is now open to an exit from the Spanish capital.
Ramos has continually told both clubs that he had no interest in a move but was said to have had a change of heart and believes a change of club would benefit both him personally and Madrid.
The report claims that for Zidane, the ‘presence of Ramos is essential’ and the Coach outlined ‘the ideal climate for continuity’ for the defender at the club.
It is said that the meeting was vital between the two, who are said to hold a strong personal and working relationship.
The previous reports of an exit cited how the 33-year-old had a well-reported argument with club president Florentino Perez following the Champions League exit against Ajax in March.
The Spain international made 41 starts for the club this season but was among a number of underperforming players as Madrid endured a tough campaign.
