Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is confident that Sergio Ramos will soon pen a new contract at the Bernabeu.
The 34-year-old remains an inspirational figure for the Spanish champions but has still not signed an extension and as it stands will be a free agent at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.
In theory, foreign clubs could begin talks with Ramos in January over a switch next summer, but Zidane has said that he expects the centre-back to stay at the club "for many years".
"When a player wants to stay that means a lot. With Sergio Ramos, I see him staying for many years. He's looking after himself well and I'm not surprised about what he's achieving," Zidane told reporters.
Ramos has scored three times in 13 appearances for Madrid this season, while he has made 663 appearances for the Spanish champions in total, contributing 100 goals in the process.
Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool are all allegedly interested in signing the defender on a free transfer.
