The future of Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid It is filling of shadows and everytime seems more complicated that the white club and the captain reach a renewal agreement. It should not be forgotten that his current contract expires on June 30 and that as of January 1 he will be able to negotiate freely with the club he wants. But the desire shared by Zidane (“he is our leader and we want him to stay here for many more years,” the Frenchman has repeatedly said) and the Madrid fans themselves is that is considered a priority the camero continuity.
The problem is that, according to sources close to the player, Madrid is not willing to offer him more than one year of contract, clinging to that unwritten rule in the entity that considers that from the age of 30 players renew only from season to season (however, it was an exception in the Cristiano's latest renovation, signed when the Portuguese was 31 years old, extending his contract at that time for three more courses). For that unwritten reason is why in 2017 Pepe did not renew and ended up going to Porto.
The club is willing to offer Ramos a 1 + 1, but logically that second year added is subject to a series of variables that would jump through the air if you suffered a major injury, how did it happen to Victor Valdes in his last year at Barça when he already had a great contract with Monaco (the French club was going to pay him 10 million net per year, but everything broke down because of that injury) or as has happened in recent weeks to Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, leaving the Liverpool Klopp without centrals practically until the end of this season.
Bouquets has made it clear to the club's interlocutors (he has not yet sat face to face with Florentino Pérez) that your wish it is stay in Madrid and retire here, but because of his age (he is 34 years old) and because of the loyalty and commitment shown in his 16 seasons at the Bernabéu considers that you deserve as minimal detail of having two more years guaranteed by contract (That way it would end in 2023 and so it could be in the new and modernized Bernabéu, whose works will finish in the summer of 2022).
The club does not give its arm to twist arguing financial reasons (economic crisis generated by the pandemic and not breaking the salary scale of the workforce) and it does not move from 1 + 1. That has transcended in Europe, where Ramos is currently considered at the top level of the centrals. Even, France Football has raised who is the best center back in history and the Sevillian will dispute that honorary title with Beckenbauer and Baresi, being the favorite to be chosen. Precisely from France comes the main interest to negotiate with Ramos as of January 1. As AS learned, PSG is willing to offer him three guaranteed contract seasons at a net 20 million each, to which should be added the transfer bonus by being able to go free in June 2021. The French club will not formalize its proposal until January 1, 2021 to avoid falling into any illegality. Even so, Ramos has transferred to the white club that if they give him two years with what he earns now (12 million net per year) he would sign in order to continue at Real Madrid.
But in the noble floor of the Bernabéu they start to see him more outside than inside, although it is already known that these high standing they can suffer an unexpected turn that can put everything back on track in search of a happy ending. The fans are looking forward to the soap opera ending well. It is quite difficult to imagine a Madrid without Ramos.
That is why it is not fully understood how the club no longer makes an effort to tie the captain of Madrid and Spain for two years. If the current roadmap is not modified, Florentino will have to find him a replacement and surely the successor (there is much talk about Alaba, Bayern Munich) would cost him almost the same as Ramos. Tomorrow we will leave doubts. This Monday Florentino will speak in The spar and will explain how the issue is, although hours before It is expected that Ramos takes advantage of the press conference in Seville with Spain (the next day they will play against Germany in the Nations League with the obligation to win yes or yes) to explain their feelings, although the captain tends to prioritize the National Team when he is focused on it and it does not seem that he is going to use his appearance, and less on the eve of a key match, to enter a field that is currently bogged down. Its renovation is entrenched. A lot.
