Contract talks between Real Madrid and defender Sergio Ramos are in neutral, according to sports journalist Jose Luis Guerrero.
The AS reporter claimed no discussions have taken place over a new deal for the past six months and with his contact not set to expire until 2017, there is no immediate hurry to tie it up just yet. Los Blancos want to secure his on a long-term deal however when the time comes to sitting down and talking to him.
On his part, Ramos has shown no indication that he is thinking his future lies elsewhere, and has indeed stated in the past that he would like to retire at the club. With Iker Casillas rumoured to be leaving the club at the end of this campaign, Ramos would be the perfect man to lead the club forward as captain.
According to Guerrero, the only issue between the player and the club is the share of the prize money won for lifting the 2014 Champions League. Ramos wants a bigger slice of the pie for playing a significant role in winning La Decima it’s said.
Although it is expected Ramos will eventually put pen-to-paper on a new deal, the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal are thought to be monitoring the situation.
