Real Madrid will reportedly not change their stance on resigning Sergio Ramos.
Ramos has publicly flirted with the idea of making a sensational return to the Santiago Bernabeu in the wake of Eder Militao's likely season-ending ACL injury.
Madrid are now scrambling for defensive cover and Ramos' position as a free agent makes a deal easy to strike, with Carlo Ancelotti open to the move.
However, club president Florentino Perez is not convinced and refuses to change his stance on the matter, as reported by Marca.
Ramos hasn't played since departing Sevilla at the end of last season and it was previously reported Madrid aren't convinced he can still cut it playing at the highest level.
The 38-year-old is dreaming of a magical return to the club where he earned legendary status and posted a video of a lung-busting workout on Instagram showing him running uphill on a farm and claiming to be 'feeling strong'.

Former Los Blancos star Guti had also backed Ramos to re-join Madrid, but the club are instead considering other options.
The Spaniard left Madrid after 16 seasons in 2021 having won five LaLiga and four Champions League titles.
He initially went to Paris Saint-Germain for two seasons before returning to boyhood club Sevilla last campaign.
Meanwhile, Militao is facing a lengthy rehabilitation process after suffering a devastating rupture in his right knee during their 4-0 hammering of Osasuna last weekend.
It is heartbreaking for Militao, who also missed most of last campaign an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee, and a serious problem for Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazilian defender will be operated on, as Madrid confirmed.
Hence the excitement for fans seeing Ramos share his latest video, which showed him with a rippling physique despite not being signed to a side.
