"According to reports, Florentino Perez increasingly regrets extending the contract with defender Sergio Ramos this summer. Although the Spanish national team defender was linked with a move to another team during the summer, with "Manchester United" club mentioned among potential candidates to buy the player, Ramos stayed with the team and extended his contract with the Madrid team for another five years. However, it is reported that Perez is becoming more and more dissatisfied with this decision, as Ramos has been plagued by injuries this season and has not shown the level of play that was expected of him. Due to injuries, the footballer appeared in only 13 out of 25 matches, but when he was on the field, the team played even worse than without him. When Ramos was on the field, the team lost three times and played to a draw four times, while when he did not play, the club earned 34 out of possible 36 points. According to MailOnline, "Real" is already looking at other center-backs, with "Everton" player John Stones being considered their main target. Already having two young and talented players in this position - Nacho and Raphael Varane, and potentially acquiring Stones, it is possible that the Madrid team may decide that the 29-year-old Ramos is no longer needed. If Perez decides to sell the player, considering how difficult it is to find good center-backs in the transfer market, even with injuries, Ramos should attract huge interest."
