The defender has enjoyed a glorious career already, but his international manager expects him to play on for another seven years
Spain coach Robert Moreno expects Real Madrid and La Roja captain Sergio Ramos to play until he is 40.
Ramos was a key part of the Spain squads that emerged victorious at the Euros in 2008 and 2012, as well as the 2010 World Cup.
While Gerard Pique – his partner at the back for many years with Spain – has called time on his international career, Ramos could keep going for another seven years, according to Moreno.
"Everything he is achieving is incredible," Moreno told reporters on Friday after naming his latest Spain squad. "He gives everything for us, in the gym, in the locker room, on the pitch.
"I always see in him a spirit to improve in everything. His behaviour with us is extraordinary.
"He will beat Iker Casillas' record [of Spain caps] because he wants to play until he is 40 and I think he will succeed as he is incredible in every way."
