Monterrey president José Antonio Noriega confirmed “there are talks” to extend Sergio Ramos’s contract, but the club is fully focused on its Apertura quarterfinal bout with América.
Ramos, who joined the Liga MX side in February, only has until the end of the year before his current deal expires with Rayados. Without an extension in the coming weeks, the Spaniard is set to become a free agent.
The captain’s uncertain future has been a topic of discussion as the calendar year winds down, both among fans and within the club. Noriega, though, assured supporters that Monterrey are working on locking down the Real Madrid legend.
“Yes, of course, there are talks, that’s normal,” Noriega told the press ahead of Monterrey’s upcoming clash at the Estadio BBVA.
“I wouldn’t want to go into details because it distracts us from what’s most important right now which is how the team is going to be, how to face a difficult rival as América is.”
Ramos is set to make his 31st appearance for the club come the playoff clash. The center back has found the back of the net seven times so far is his short stint in Liga MX.
