Both Manchester United and Arsenal have been warned by the Father of Sevilla starlet Sergio Ramos, that the price for his son will rise soon and it will continue to rise, so if they want him they better move now. The teenager fast became a target for Arsenal and Manchester United after some amazing performances this season and both the premiership clubs see him as their long term candidate for the right back role, but he is not going to come cheaply.

Sevilla have a 12 million pound buy out clause in operation on the youngster and in just three more appearances that clause will rise to 18 million, his father who is also his agent warned:

"Sergio may play in the league games on January 9 and 16 and then in the Spanish Cup," he stated. "Then he will be worth £6 million more.

"Arsenal had virtually done the deal four months ago.

"They spoke to the club but couldn't finalise matters. Perhaps they will now.

"Sevilla say my son's not for sale but everyone has his price. It was the same for Jose Antonio Reyes."
