Sergio Ramos contract extension: Sergio Ramos salary 

According to multiple reports, Sergio Ramos earns a reported £280,000 a week at Real Madrid and is the third-highest earner at the club behind Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale. Ramos scored 11 goals for Real Madrid during the 2019-20 LaLiga campaign, including six goals after the season resumed. He also made 211 ball recoveries during the campaign and had a pass completion rate of 91%.

Ramos missed the Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash against the Cityzens due to suspension after picking up a red card in the fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu. The usually reliable Raphael Varane made two costly errors in defence which eventually led to Madrid's downfall. Although it was only one game, Real Madrid weren't left feeling too confident of a future without Sergio Ramos.
