Real Madrid and Croatian central player Luka Modric recently concluded renewal talks despite this still yet to be made official from the LaLiga side. As part of the deal, Modric has agreed to accept the 10% salary reduction with the club proposing a simar drop to all football and basketball first team players. Real Madrid have also made a similar proposition to Ramos requesting that the defender reduce his annual income from 12 million euro to 10.8.

Ramos-Madrid: grounds for hope

Ramos remains committed to his vision of ending his career with the Santiago Bernabéu club despite the best attempts of David Beckham to lure the defender to play with MLS side Inter Miami.
