Sergio Ramos. Dead End (Reuters)
There are only 120 days left until the end of Sergio Ramos’ contract at Real Madrid officially, and things do not seem to be progressing. The Spanish ‘Marca’ today (Thursday) conducted extensive coverage regarding the situation regarding the future of the captain at the White Club, when as time goes on the optimism among the club’s members disappears.
A “dead end,” as the Spanish media put it, when since the memorable meeting between President Florentino Perez and Ramos on December 30 at a local hotel, nothing has changed as both sides remain in their views and no outline has been reached. As you may recall, the president offered Ramos a renewal for two seasons but with a 10 percent reduction in his salary (injury of 2.4 million euros per season), but the brakeman for his part wants to keep the conditions the same as those he receives this season.
At first Ramos even wanted an option for a third season on the contract, but Peres made it clear to him that such a thing could not happen at the moment in light of the economic crisis. In addition, it was alleged that Ramos even said to his associates that he feels disrespected by the club where he has been playing for 16 years and may soon “listen to offers from other teams”.
Zidane, meanwhile, is tired of fussing around the brakes at press conferences and does not respond to the issue. The player is currently recovering from an injury and the parties will meet again to find a solution that is acceptable to them, but in the meantime time passes and other teams are staring at the star.
