The Real MadridLike all the great clubs of the moment, it has seen how its problems have multiplied due to the coronavirus. Everyone’s life has stopped, income has decreased and uncertainty is high. But thanks to the silent work of the club, what the entity chaired by Florentino Pérez is the flight of none of his players due to contract termination in this 2020. Only Areola, which concludes its transfer on June 30, is faced with this problem. The rest of the footballers end their relationship with the white club in 2021 or beyond.
The club has pursued a silent renovation strategy which has served to extend the contract of the hard core of its footballers. Benzema, Casemiro, Valverde, Nacho or Modric are some of the examples that they have expanded their contracts in recent times without having to be announced publicly.
After it was advanced by Eduardo Inda in The beach bar, last February, Karim Djaziri, agent of the French striker, confirmed the renewal of Benzema with Real Madrid until 2022. At 32 years old, the club has guaranteed the continuity of one of the best attackers in the world for two more years. Another of those who have extended his contract without the need for the club to make it official is Casemiro. The one who is considered one of the most important players in the Zidane team renewed until 2023, while Fede Valverde, another capital footballer for Zizou, extended its relationship until 2025 and saw its profile improved. Along with the renewal of Kroos, which did become official, Madrid has shielded its core. In the defensive zone, last summer Nacho Fernández renewed until 2022.
Sergio Ramos and Lucas, open fronts
Now, Real Madrid must work to extend Sergio Ramos’ contract. The captain ends his contract in 2021 and the idea is that when the coronavirus pandemic passes, his contractual extension with the Madrid entity is made official. The center-back wants more than a year of contract and, at 34 years old, the club’s idea is to offer him a union until 2023. All parties hope to reach an understanding.
Lucas is in a different situation. Curtis’ man ends contract in 2021 and, although he has expressed his desire to retire at Real Madrid, for the moment the club has not called him to sit down to negotiate. Zidane has him and the white entity, even if it does not renew him, will not force him out and let him choose his destiny within a year.
The ones with the least doubts about his destiny are with Modric and James. They both end their contracts in 2021, but their situation is very different. Real Madrid will respect the Croatian’s desire to continue and throughout the season they will ask him what he wants to do with his future, while the Colombian he has many options to stop at Everton de Ancelotti. The club intends to get money for a footballer who does not count.
