New Roma coach Jose Mourinho is keen on departing Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.

Ramos will be a free agent next month with Real Madrid allowing their captain to come off contract this summer.

Okdiario says Mourinho is keen to bring Ramos to Italy for the new season, though won't get a clear run at the 35 year-old.

Manchester United are interested, should they fail to sign Ramos' Real teammate Raphael Varane, while Chelsea are also monitoring his situation. Its suggested Chelsea will move for the veteran should Toni Rudiger leave this summer.

Mourinho, meanwhile, is prepared to see Chris Smalling sold and replace him with Ramos.
