The Spanish centre back has been expected to sign a contract extension for a while but Perez has insisted that the situation is different to Modric's. When asked why no agreement had been reached so far, the Madrid supremo said, "I don't know why we haven't. We have spoken many times. I don't want to blame anyone." Perez added, "I love Ramos as though he was my son, I've done for him all that I can. I recognise all that he has done. But you [reporter] are not going to encourage me to pay Sergio Ramos more. The situation is what it is, he knows it, too. Let's complete the season and see what happens. Once the season is over, I have to see what will happen next season, which will be worse than this one, if COVID-19 continues." Considering Perez's statement it seems a Sergio Ramos exit is certain if the centre back does not compromise on his wage demands as Madrid's financial situation seems precarious.
