Man City poised to sign Sergio Ramos

Manchester City are expected to beat rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Spain international Sergio Ramos this summer.

The talented defender has been associated with a switch to Old Trafford in recent weeks, following stall in talks over a new deal at Real.

However, the former Sevilla man sorted out his differences and agreed to discuss terms over a new deal.

Reports in Spain now cite that the Citizens will look to take advantage of United's stand-off with Los Blancos to seal a deal for the player's services.

Ramos joined Real Madrid from Sevilla in 2005.
