René Ramos, the brother and agent of Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, spoke to Radio Marca earlier this week and revealed that no progress has been made regarding the defender's contract renewal with Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos has been a crucial cog in Real Madrid's defence for well over a decade. The Spanish defender was named the captain of the Real Madrid squad after the departure of Iker Casillas and has made a name for himself in Real Madrid's dressing room.

The current contract of the Real Madrid defender is set to expire in 2021. Sergio Ramos has reportedly been offered a one-year contract extension that is set to keep him at Real Madrid till 2022. According to his agent, however, no concrete discussion has taken place over a long-term contract.

Sergio Ramos is virtually irreplaceable at Real Madrid and is known to be an inspirational figure in the Real Madrid dressing room. The captain's current contract will expire in 2021 and Real Madrid will want to ensure a renewal to keep its star player at the club.

According to Sergio Ramos' agent, the defender is yet to decide on a new contract and will do so in due course of time.

“This type of news goes around a lot but there are very good intentions on both sides. Hopefully he will retire at Real Madrid, it is his dream and I understand that it will be the desire of the club as well."

Sergio Ramos has been with Real Madrid for over 15 years and is a loyal servant of the club. His brother reiterated Ramos' dedication to the club and revealed that there is an overlap of intentions between the player and the club.

The agent also added that while no progress has been made so far, there is no reason for Real Madrid fans to be worried by the absence of a new contract.

"As of today we have not spoken of anything but there is no need to be alarmed. The moment the club considers it, we will begin to speak.”

According to Spanish outlet AS, Sergio Ramos has revealed his inclinations towards the MLS in the past and was open to joining former teammate David Beckham at Inter Miami. His agent's new revelations, however, have put the rumours to bed.

Sergio Ramos is set to stay at Real Madrid for at least one more season and will likely renew his contract and may even set a record for the most appearances in a Real Madrid shirt.

The authorities at Real Madrid know that Sergio Ramos is the club's best defender and leader. Los Blancos will do all that it takes to make sure that the eccentric World Cup winner spends the rest of his career at Real Madrid.
