Ramos and Di Maria to extend their contracts

Real Madrid have started negotiations to renew the contracts of Sergio Ramos and Angel di Maria, according to Spanish radio station COPE.

After having won La Decima, Los Blancos are working on consolidating their solid project for the next few years. After having extended Pepe and Coentrao’s deals, Ramos and Di Maria are expected to be next.

The Spaniard and the Argentinian were the best players of the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid and Florentino Perez could give them a nice reward.

Los Merengues directors have long been thinking of raising Di Maria’s salary, since he’s a brilliant season at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Argentinian had been linked with Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, but Carlo Ancelotti has convinced him to stay and the club will do their job.

Perez is expected to offer Di Maria a six-million-euros salary. He is making five millions a year at the moment.

Ramos, who has also played his best season with Los Blancos, could be offered eight million per season -two more than what he earns at the moment.

The Andalucian has stated he wants to retire at Real Madrid. During the title celebrations, he told the fans he wants to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu for many years to come.

“I’m a privileged person for playing in the best club of the world; I’ve said that many times. Since I first arrived here, I’ve felt the fans’ affection and I’ll always be thankful for that. For me, lifting the Champions League is a dream come true,” Ramos admitted.
