Transfer: Real Madrid take final decision on Sergio Ramos future

 

Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez, has finally decided not to allow captain, Serigo Ramos leave the Santiago Bernabeu for a club in the Chinese Super League this summer’s transfer window.

We had reported that Ramos is set to leave Real Madrid after clashing with the club’s president, Florentino Perez, on several occasions.

Perez said Ramos and his agent told him they had received ‘a very good offer from China’, adding that the Los Blancos refused the centre-back’s request.

The 72-year-old said that Real Madrid will not allow the 33-year-old Spain international to leave Bernabeu for free as that would set a terrible precedent for other players.

“They (Ramos and his agent) came to see me in my office and told me they had a very good offer from China but the league rules over there wouldn’t permit them to pay the transfer fee,” Perez told radio station, Onda Cero.

“What was I going to tell him? We said this couldn’t happen but we’d speak to the club to satisfy him but that Real Madrid could not afford to let its captain leave for free as that would set a terrible precedent for other players,” he said.

Neymar Will Win Ballon d'Or In PSG - Drogba

Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba has said that Paris Saint-Germain star, Neymar has the qualities and determination to win Ballon d’Or.

The ex-Ivorian captain said Neymar could win the football biggest individual award as a PSG player but he needs to be patient.

Asked by Le Parisien whether Neymar can flourish in Ligue 1, Drogba said: “I think so. He is a good friend. His presence brings a lot to PSG.

“He has the qualities to win the Ballon d’Or in Paris, he has the determination.”

He added: “Yes, they are on the right track, but PSG still has some steps to take.

“We went through several semi-finals, one final (2008) before getting there (2012). It takes time and, as we can see, it is not necessarily the best team on paper that wins this trophy.

“The adventure lasted more than eight years at Chelsea and, winning the Champions League, it was a satisfaction and, above all, a relief.”

Neymar joined PSG last summer in a global-record deal worth £198 million.

The 26-year-old, who is recovering from a broken metatarsal, has scored 28 goals and provided 13 assists for the Ligue 1 giants.
