Real Madrid news: Sergio Ramos drops transfer bombshell in warning to team-mate
REAL MADRID captain Sergio Ramos has reportedly warned Dani Carvajal that Real Sociedad’s Alvaro Odriozola is on his way to the Bernabeu this summer.

Carvajal has spent the past four-and-half-years in Madrid after being bought back from Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.
And during that time he’s racked up 183 appearances for Real, as well as helping them win 12 trophies.
Carvajal’s 2017/18 campaign has been derailed though due to a heart condition discovered in October.
And he’s had to watch on as Zinedine Zidane has utilised Real youngster Achraf Hakimi in his place at right-back.
The latest reports from Spain suggest Ramos has learned Zidane is now planning to bring in another player that can slot in there.
According to Diario Gol, Ramos has got wind of a deal to buy Odriozola from Sociedad being in the pipeline.
And he’s supposedly passed on the message by simply telling Carvajal: "He’s signed," in reference to the 22-year-old.
Diario Gol indicate Real are set to hand over £35.5m (€40m) for Odriozola due to a release clause in his contract.

And they reference the deal as something of a coup due to clubs from England, France and Italy eyeing him up too.
Odriozola’s prospective switch reflects Real’s realisation that they need to strengthen in defence.
He will apparently compete with Carvajal for a starting spot, with Hakimi relegated to the reserves.
