Immersed in a series of adversities never seen to date as a result of the pandemic, Real Madrid work accumulates. To the episode of a possible 20% salary cut to the entire squad that is already on the horizon, the club must add the renewal of the heaviest weight in the locker room: Sergio Ramos.
The captain ends the contract next June 2021 and, the little movement in the white offices begins to cast doubts on the situation and, with them, also nervousness.
The desire is mutual but the conditions not so much
The reality is that the two parties want to continue hand in hand in the future. So much Sergio Ramos, who has indicated several times that he wants to retire in white, as the Real Madrid, who wants me to. However, it is in the conditions of a hypothetical agreement that discrepancies appear.
The captain wants to ensure the signature until 2023, to sign one last great contract. But Madrid, who in these situations advocates “day to day”, is in favor of granting him only one more year of union, until 2022, as he does with all players who pass the “thirty-something” barrier (Ramos is 35).
On the other hand, there is the economic aspect. And it is that the camero is in the group of those who earn the most money together with the big stars, but his great contribution in the past season would give him reasons to ask for an increase.
Despite this, in the noble zone of the Bernabéu they still have not forgotten what happened at the end of the 18/19 season, when the captain put on the table an offer from a Chinese team that paid him a real fortune, but for which the Real Madrid he was going to receive very little money. Florentino Pérez He made it clear to the player that he was not going to go for free in a meeting that took place at the ACS offices and this caused a pulse between the two personalities that has now lost steam.
PSG, the Olympics and Euro 2021
To all this, we must also add all the ‘agents’ that also appear on the scene. On the one hand, the PSG. The Gallic club – and also the Juventus– they would not lose sight of his situation and, in a hypothetical case, they would rush for him by offering him an astronomical contract.
And, on the other, the summer calendar that is presented in 2021 with the Olympic Games and the Eurocup. Appointments in which Ramos pretends to be – and will be if nothing changes – flag bearer of Spain.
Thus, the fabric to be cut at the Bernabéu with its captain is a lot and time is getting less and less. So nervousness begins to germinate in the environment and that is never positive.
