Marca says Milan have added Italo Galbiati to their scouting team this season and he was in attendance on Saturday to see Ramos star for Spain in their 3-0 victory over Sweden at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Galbiati knows Ramos well, having worked with him at Real last season as Fabio Capello's assistant, and has told Milan powerbrokers that there is no better defender in Europe for his age.

Ramos remains one of Real's lowest paid players and is still waiting to open new contract talks.
