The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, maintains with Sergio Ramos “an almost daily contact, very close and bordering on the parent-subsidiary relationship,” a solvent source from the Club told this newspaper, who is “surprised” by the trickle of news related to the renovation of the plant. The most important thing is that the president and captain “They have never lost their great harmony or close contact, but it is logical that Sergio Ramos looks after his family” Therefore, the Club does not completely rule out that “an irrefutable proposal from a team other than its members, from a club in a public limited company format” may come to him for a nearly 35-year-old player who possibly has the last big contract of his career. “It is not what Madrid would like, who would like to continue with Ramos in their squad, but in any case what is certain is that whatever it is will have a good outcome for both parties, “said the same source.
“The relationship between Sergio Ramos and the president is very cordial and is not affected by the negotiations,” insisted the sources contrasted by this newspaper. Madrid has no doubts: they want Sergio Ramos to stay. But the Club is also perfectly clear that if an auction occurs, it will not enter bids for the player. “Sergio knows how far Real Madrid can go in a situation like the one that has generated the pandemic. Of course, if, as has been said, there is an offer of 20 million net for him, the Club will never reach that point “. The summary is that Madrid want Sergio Ramos to continue, but not at the risk of unbalancing their accounts. The Club still has to square 250 million of its budget and that is the responsibility of its president. Ramos's is to try to get the best possible contract. Both parties, Florentino on the one hand and Ramos on the other, are as expert and tough negotiators as good friends. Florentino already found himself in a similar situation with Cristiano Ronaldo and will apply the same doctrine with Ramos as with the Portuguese. Ramos will have the opportunity to continue, “but if he comes with an offer that cannot be rejected at 35 years of age, it will be necessary to understand that he is looking for the good of his family.” In any case, if he leaves, it will be without trauma, they indicate from Chamartín.
Real Madrid has opted for “a prudent economic policy because of the pandemic and it will not make exceptions, it cannot make them.” “It is not the moment to throw the house for the advantage when a salary cut has been applied in the squad and another may come”. It seems that The footballer has not yet made up his mind between continuing in Madrid with conditions similar to those he has now (twelve million net per season) or risking an irrefutable offer. That he fulfills the expectations of what could be the last great contract of his career, such as the already aired one from PSG.
Madrid insists that “there is plenty of time” to talk about the renewal of Ramos and that perhaps it will be done “when the ball stops rolling, by the end of the year. Now there is a national team and the League and the Champions League will return soon. they specified. But those same sources wanted to stress that “the relationship between Florentino and Sergio Ramos is close and constant and was never cut off”, and both are going to show it publicly. Soon, maybe this weekend taking advantage of Madrid's game against Villarreal.
