The renewal of Sergio Ramos is a matter of two and the continuity of the center-back at Real Madrid beyond this season is now closer than a week ago. The captain has approached positions with Florentino Pérez in informal contacts of a personal nature that the player and the white president have maintained this week, according ABC.
Ramos and Pérez have exchanged calls in recent days to inquire about their health status.. The president of the entity tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday 2 and received a call from Ramos to ask how he was doing. In turn, Pérez has called the defenseman to find out his state of mind after the knee operation he underwent last Saturday. According to the Madrid newspaper, the president values the sacrifice that the player made to be able to play the semifinal of the Super Cup, despite the fact that he had been suffering from meniscus problems for a long time.
The talks this week have served to repair the personal relationship between the two and that both parties build bridges in the face of the negotiation for the renewal of Ramos. A matter that will be settled between Sergio and Florentino. In recent weeks, the negotiation had been tense due to leaks from both environments, in a cross tone of accusations, about the positions of the other party. But the calls of the last week have served to recover a conciliatory tone.
