Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos is a contender to replace Paolo Maldini at Milan when the legendary stopper quits the game at the end of the season.

The Rossoneri are considering their options for the post-Maldini era and the Spanish centre-back is being heavily linked with the club this morning.

Spanish newspaper Marca today claims that the European and world champions are “obsessed” with the talented defender.

Milan are said to be pondering a swoop after the intervention of former Diavolo boss and Real sporting director Arrigo Sacchi.

The latter is understood to have spoken at length about Ramos to both President Silvio Berlusconi and Vice-President Adriano Galliani.

Sacchi was instrumental in convincing Real to sign Ramos for around £20m after a string of impressive and commanding displays at Sevilla.

The proposed move does have a number of obstacles though seeing as the 21-year-old is still contracted to the Bernabeu outfit who wouldn’t want to sell.

It’s also expected that Real would insist that Kaka be involved in any Ramos sale which Milan wouldn’t take into consideration at this stage.
