Sergio Ramos: pay cut first and renewal later

Sergio Ramos' renewal is less entrenched than it seems. The fact that there are only 55 days left for the Real Madrid captain to sign for any club that knocks on his door (If you do not renew before, from January 1 you could by law close an agreement with whoever you want), has achieved that among the Madrid fans there is a certain feeling of unease due to the fear that the camero could leave the team in which he has made history in June as happened before with Raúl, Casillas and Cristiano. But as AS was able to know, it is more a matter of marking the times and keeping the forms in the face of the special circumstances that we are experiencing due to the pandemic. The program The spar, from Cadena SER, announced that the renewal offer will be for two years, but there will be no economic increase. From there, the player will have the floor and the club will respect his decision.

The question is simple. The club's plan first involves closing an agreement with the squad to accept a salary reduction to alleviate the 190 million euros in which the losses have been assessed. for continuing the remainder of the season without revenue from the ticket offices and merchandising attached to match days when they were played with fans in the stands of the Bernabéu. The players already made an effort at the end of last season by accepting a 10% reduction in their annual tab and waiving the bonuses that corresponded to them for winning the League and the Spanish Super Cup. Now the club hopes to close a similar agreement with the squad, but wants to raise that percentage to 15% or 20%.

Once that chapter is concluded with an agreement by both parties, Madrid will accelerate the renewal protocol of Sergio Ramos to announce the good news before the end of the year. The captain is informed of all this situation, which explains that in all his public demonstrations he is showing calm and without anxiety despite repeatedly proclaiming his desire to retire at Real Madrid. His aspiration is to break the records he has within reach, especially that of official matches with the white jersey (Raúl holds it with 741, while Ramos has so far played 659).

The club intended to renew him for one year, until 2022, to maintain that unwritten rule that has been applied since the time of Santiago Bernabéu, which renewed its players from the age of 30 only for one season. But the physique was very different at that time and now footballers are longer in their careers by enjoying their thirties in good shape. In addition, Cristiano was renewed for three seasons when he was 31 years old, then there are already precedents of exceptions in special cases like this. Ramos will surely renew until 2023, which would ensure that it will be in the first season at the brand new Bernabéu (it will open for the summer of 2022). Ramos, who will turn 35 on March 30, wants to retire at Madrid at 37 or 38 years old. All Madrid fans would sign below. He has earned it.
