Friday 11 of June. Sergio Ramos went to the Valdebebas Sports City last Friday around one in the afternoon. Those who saw him arrive were a bit surprised because the Real Madrid captain had not gone for several days, a week. The same sources assure that Florentino Pérez was in the Madrid sports complex at that time. So what The president and the captain of Real Madrid saw each other this Friday, June 11, before eating at Valdebebas.
Good face. When that summit between Florentino and Ramos concluded, each one left the Valdebebas facilities on their own, but, according to eyewitnesses, both wore a smiling countenance, even conveying satisfaction, according to those testimonies. Does this mean that Ramos is going to continue at Madrid because he has accepted the offer presented by the renewal club? Well, we cannot be sure, what we can tell is that this meeting took place last Friday.
Negotiation. Both parties seemed definitively separated and everything indicated that Sergio Ramos would cease to belong to the Real Madrid discipline on July 1, the date on which his contract with the white team expires after 16 seasons at the club. Real Madrid had not reached an agreement with the Héroe de la Décima, in a negotiation carried out personally, without intermediaries, the president and the player. But the Valdebebas summit last Friday could totally change the decoration.
Rumors. At Real Madrid they were convinced that Sergio had reached an agreement with another club, something that he could do with all the right since last January 1, as allowed by FIFA regulations. Even Ramos himself had commented informally in Valdebebas at the end of the League that he had an agreement with PSG, according to people who heard him. Information also circulated from Manchester that Sergio and Guardiola had contacted weeks before the Champions League final to probe the hiring for City of the player who has been international with the Spanish team the most times (180).
No leaks. All these rumors and all the disagreements in a negotiation that has gone on longer than desired for Real Madrid are erased at a stroke with the possibility that Florentino and Ramos have smoothed out rough spots last Friday. As has tried, but has not been able to confirm the meeting with either party (they have probably agreed not to filter the meeting yet) and has the account of various sources that this summit took place. If so, there is an open door for Sergio Ramos to continue being the captain of Real Madrid next season. We will see.
