Real Madrid confirms new Ramos deal
Real Madrid has confirmed that captain Sergio Ramos has agreed to a new five-year contract.
Sergio Ramos has ended speculation over his future by agreeing to a new five-year contract with Real Madrid.
The Real captain had been linked with a big-money move to Manchester United amid a reported fallout with club president Florentino Perez, but the Spanish giants revealed Monday that he will put pen to paper on a fresh deal at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real had called a news conference with Ramos for later Monday, and confirmed on its official Twitter account that he will sign a new contract until 2020.
Louis van Gaal had been keen to take Ramos to Old Trafford, with a potential part-exchange deal for United goalkeeper David de Gea mooted.
Indeed, Ramos reportedly informed Real of his desire to move to the Premier League earlier in the transfer window — a request that is said to have been flatly rejected by Perez.
And the 29-year-old, who joined Real from Sevilla in 2004, has now opted to extend his stay at the Bernabeu.
