Florentino Pérez and Sergio Ramos will give their point of view on the renewal of the captain, with whom the club began negotiations weeks ago. Both are scheduled to appear publicly next Monday. Ramos taking advantage of the presence of the National Team in his hometown, Seville. The president in 'El Larguero', in the SER, the night of the same day.
The Club maintains that it opened negotiations with Ramos' representatives weeks ago, and that most of the information that has been published so far “They are speculations and are far from the truth.” “What has to be will be when football stops, as is tradition in Madrid”, the same sources abound. The selection break may be within that category, and therefore it would be considered a good time to make the corresponding announcement.
For its part, the player will insist that his intention is to finish his career at Madrid. Both protagonists will ratify it after the weekend. Sergio Ramos will do so at the press conference he plans to offer at the La Cartuja stadium on the occasion of Spain-Germany, an appointment that was strategically closed in October with the unbeatable excuse that he will surpass Buffon as the European footballer with more internationals, but that will also serve to fix, as far as possible, his contractual situation and to renew his vows as an inveterate madridista. Ramos could shed light in the same intervention on the call, still unconfirmed neither by him nor by his surroundings, that his representatives received, 45 days ago, from Leonardo, from PSG.
Madrid and Ramos are condemned to understand each other, but the situation left by the pandemic does not facilitate negotiation. Madrid, who despite the impact of the virus on their accounts closed last year with a profit of 319,000 euros, estimates that it will stop earning 195 million this season. The Club has already applied a 10% salary cut to the first staff, and is now studying another for the same amount, something that is still soaking in the hope of the new vaccine. In this scenario, it is not easy to renew upward contracts, and hence another formula is being sought for Sergio Ramos. But it's not the only case. The same problem will soon be found the following on the list: Modric, Carvajal, Isco, Lucas Vázquez, Marcelo and Casemiro.
