The Ramos renovation seems to be in a difficult crossroads to solve, fundamentally, because it has arrived in a complicated moment due to the economic effects that pandemic has had in football. At the point where the conversations are, the problem centers on the 10% salary reduction that the entity has planned, as happened the last season, for players of the first team and Castilla, for those of basketball and for the senior managers. East 10% salary reduction for the pandemic is a problem for the players who, like Ramos, Modric or Lucas Vázquez, are negotiating those who could well be the last great contracts of their careers.
Sergio Ramos charges now in Madrid 12 million net by season. A 10% discount would cut his salary in 1.2 million. It would therefore renew downwards. Or so the captain and his environment understand it, even more so when It's not even know even when this situation will last crisis. If it were extended for two years (the two that it intends to renew), the salary cut would be almost three million. Hence, being in such an atypical situation (due to the pandemic and because it could be their last contract), the Bouquets have outlined even to Madrid the idea (according to Josep Pedrerol in The Chringuito) that I could charge your deferred salary, in later years, when the pandemic is already a thing of the past.
According to the information available to this newspaper, the issue of the 10% pay cut has been approached In private for the costume components and have come to the conclusion that in principle reply to Madrid's proposal it will be negative. The players do not want a 10% discount, knowing that the club plans a great disbursement in players (Mbappé, maybe Camavinga), and that he will pay them high salaries. “If there is money for that, there is so as not to lower the salary,” they reason. Either way conversations for this sale they have to start still, and it is not ruled out that players who are less settled in the entity are unmarked from this position.
A 90 million broken
If the Madrid forecast, with income (from not returning public to stadiums) of 617 million and a wage bill of 448 (for all employees), this season there will be a loss of 91 million euros. That salary cut from 10 to 15% that Madrid intends was the one that allowed, once again, save the second exercise pandemic (the hardest) with green numbers … But the yes of the template is in the air.
