Ramos, renewal on the rise

“Ramos will end his career at Madrid. Is more than a captain“. Florentino was so resounding to the press when Madrid celebrated the league title.” He will continue whenever he wants, he knows it. Whenever you want and have strength, and as you have strength, I think he will be with us for many years“, concluded. The captain had been fundamental for the conquest of the title.
