Sergio Ramos has rejected the contract renewal that Real Madrid have put on the table.
The club's captain feels it doesn't meet his economic worth, but president Florentino Perez thinks Ramos' demands are unrealistic given the strain being wrought on finances by the coronavirus crisis.
Real Madrid's proposal would see Ramos sign on for another season on a similar annual wage to what he currently receives - 12 million euros.
But, with a 10 percent wage reduction across the squad likely being put into place, it's not the best time for Ramos - or indeed any player - to be negotiating a new deal.
Ramos does not want to lose out on a sum equivalent to around 1.2m euros, even if Real Madrid are set on pursuing that reduction to keep the club stable.
Another point of contention is the length of Ramos' new deal. The 34-year-old wants a two-year extension, which he thinks he deserves after his efforts with the club to date.
But, he will turn 35 on March 30 and, for players of that age, Real Madrid only renew year to year.
It's a red line they don't want to cross, even for a legend like Ramos.
As of January 1, Ramos is now free to discuss terms with other clubs. With Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool said to be interested, that has created more tension between Ramos and the Real Madrid hierarchy.
The situation is frustrating Los Blancos' coach Zinedine Zidane, who has already said publicly that he wants it sorted out as soon as possible and to keep Ramos at the club next season.
Winger Lucas Vazquez has also turned down Real Madrid's first offer of a contract extension and Zidane also wants that situation solved quickly.

Maybe someone will read this: Perez should stop doing 1-year deals, and generally for the best players, do at least 2-years, and give the players a % of any transfer fees if they leave for the 2nd year. That way they sell them on and recover costs, rather than kicking them out and getting nothing but bad press and hurt feelings.

I m sure if Perez had kept Ronaldo we would be in a similar position like Barcelona n now we understand why club is bigger than the player as we are seeing things happen at Barcelona...so as much as I want Ramos to stay but in the end Perez will always put the club first
if you add Hazard and Jovic wages it surpasses Ronaldo's..and they made no impact on the club so far and Madrid would still be stable even with a raise for Ronaldo

it's RM's policy that they don't give more than 1 yr extension to players over 30 and he's asking for 2. so club is greater than any player, that's why it's still not done. but it will be sorted by the end of season and he will stay

this issue reminds of the the one that happened in 2015 where the media said Ramos would leave for man utd at the end of the day he renewed his contract and stayed. mark my words all this will be over before the end of the season.

Ramos should go to juventus if he's to win another UEFA with another club.His diehard mentality mixed with that of CR7 built around the likes of DeLight,MaCkenie,Aurthur,Federico etc may produce results!

He should be let to go. His presence at Real Madrid reminds me of his crime against Mo'Salah during a Champions League final match. He's a criminal.
