Palm week

Sergio Bouquets face one of the most important weeks of his career. The season with Real Madrid has come to an end and it is time to make decisions. The central, that the contract ends in a little over a month, still have the offer of renewal on the table and must determine in the next few days if he decides to accept it and continue in the white or reject it and seek accommodation in another team. The club wants to speed up planning for next year and therefore hopes the situation will be defined as soon as possible, although the captain is not in such a hurry and will wait until the end to fulfill what remains his wish: to retire at Madrid.

Negotiations remain at a standstill. Ramos is asking for an improvement in the offer that Madrid has made him, but the club still does not accept it. This improvement consists of signing for two years, until 2023, and not one more as Madrid has planned following its usual policy with players over 30 years old. The 10% pay cut is no longer a problem, but in exchange Ramos requests that he be treated preferentially during the renewal period due to his legacy at the club.

To this we must add that today Luis Enrique will give the list of summoned for the Eurocup and, for the first time in a long time, Ramos is doubt. The physical problems he has undergone in 2021 (meniscus operation and two muscle injuries) have not allowed him to play regularly: he has played three games since January. In fact, he has not been able to finish the season on the pitch. His intention is to be as he has shown on his day off, approaching Valdebebas to train alone. If you finally have a hole, you want to be 100%.

The selector, whose intention has always been to quote you, will talk to him before making any decision. If he is finally summoned, he must join the concentration in The Rozas the week of May 31. This leaves you with seven days to solve their differences with Madrid if you don't want to transfer the media impact of your renewal to the national team.
