Sevilla have initiated a fresh push to tie down their defensive stalwart, Sergio Ramos, to a new contract, according to Mundo Deportivo. The possibility of extending their relationship now seems more likely than before.
Renewal talks back on track
In recent weeks, it was widely reported that Ramos was set to leave Sevilla due to the club’s financial constraints, making a renewal of his expiring contract seemingly impossible. The 38-year-old defender even began discussions with MLS clubs about a potential summer move to the United States. However, the latest developments suggest that Ramos’ storied La Liga career might continue.
Efforts to overcome financial hurdles
According to Mundo Deportivo, Sevilla president José María del Nido Carrasco and sports director Víctor Orta met with Ramos’ brother and agent this week. The meeting aimed to convey their renewed hope of reaching a contract agreement. Although Sevilla cannot offer a salary that matches Ramos’ stature, they have pledged to do everything possible to increase his current wage.
A few obstacles remain, but the key takeaway is that both parties intend to find an agreement, keeping Ramos at Sevilla for the foreseeable future.
