Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has expressed his support for Sergio Ramos to remain at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
The current Real Madrid captain's contract comes to an end on June 30 and talks have been at an impasse for some time now.
"Let's hope that for the good of football [that] the two [Real Madrid and Ramos] can come to an agreement to reach a point of harmony, so that everyone can be happy," said Casillas at an event in Avila for the Cruyff Court Fundacion Iker Casillas.
Casillas also highlighted that Ramos is an "extremely valuable" player and "one of the best in the world," although he pointed out that "you also have to know the club's position."
When asked which side would lose out most if an agreement was not reached, Casillas admitted that he would be amongst the losers.
"I lose. I like football, I like Sergio Ramos being at Real Madrid and I would like him to remain there," he added.
"It's a decision between the club and him."

Even though Real Madrid treated Cassilas badly at the end of his Madrid career, he still continues to support the club, and that's love.👏👏

To those who don’t know what’s going on, Ramos wanted 2 years of contract renewal but Perez and the club said naaa they can only offer players over 30 years 1 year of contract renewal every year and Ramos said nope he needs 2 years. Now it’s been reported that Ramos is willing to sign the 1 year renewal and Perez and the club said those two contracts they offered him and he rejected are gone so he might not get the same offer or he will just have to leave which they’ve been preparing for his legendary farewell for weeks now.
