Sevilla, Spain
senior management
(Philippine President Fidel) Ramos
's brother and agent met and the two sides are close to agreeing on a contract extension.
Recently, Sevilla president Del Nido Carrasco and sporting director Victor Horta traveled to Madrid to meet with Ramos' brother and agent. The Sevilla executives said that the club wants to keep 38-year-old Sergio Ramos.
Although Sevilla are still not out of financial trouble and are in the process of coordinating a pay cut, the club are still doing their best to give Ramos a pay rise to extend his contract. Last summer, Ramos accepted Sevilla's offer of 2 million euros before tax in order to return to play for his parent team, a salary that was far below his market value.
In addition, Ramos' wife, Pilar Rubio, is also inclined to stay in Seville. It is understood that the well-known TV presenter has received a major offer from a local TV station, a factor that will also prompt Ramos to choose to stay with the team.
