After he captained Real Madrid to La Liga title this season, Sergio Ramos now wants to work out a new deal with the club. According to Spanish Diario Sport, Ramos recently presented his contract demands that include a $20 million yearly salary.
Ramos has just one year left on his deal, and the two sides have been negotiating an extension for some time now. However, an issue about the contract length stalled the talks as the 34-year-old Spaniard wants two more years while the club offers him one year.
Reportedly, Ramos remained set on getting an extension through 2023 but now wants a significant increase to his current $13.5 million salary after a stellar campaign this season. The Spanish center back not only anchored Real’s defense but also contributed on the other end as well, scoring 13 goals in 2019/20.
Real Madrid is also keen on making a deal, with the club’s president Florentino Perez recently reassuring fans that Sergio Ramos will spend the remainder of his career at Santiago Bernabeu.
“Ramos is going to be here his whole life, so the fans can be calm,” said Perez last week. “He has been impressive as a leader, the team are a close group, and much of the reason for that lies with him.”
Ramos joined Real in 2005 from Sevilla. Since then, he made 650 appearances in all competitions while leading the club to impressive 22 trophies.
