JAKARTA - Manchester City are reportedly ready to offer a contract for Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos. Man City are even considering signing Sergio for two years, if he takes off the Real Madrid jersey.

According to ESPN, City coach Pep Guardiola is paying attention to Ramos' experience and leadership qualities. In addition to the offer of a two-year contract, Ramos will also be offered the option of a one-year extension or strengthen City's one-group club in Major League Soccer, New York City FC.

Indeed, Ramos' contract at the Bernabeu will expire on June 30. It's just not yet known whether he will renew his contract with Madrid.

Even so, he will leave if there is no agreement with president Florentino Perez. Sources have told ESPN that in the next few days Ramos' side and Real's management will meet to discuss the player's contract.

Man City itself reportedly continues to monitor Ramos, especially after losing in the Champions League final. Guardiola thinks the centre-back duo Ruben Dias and John Stones should be spurred on again to compete with experienced and quality players like Ramos.

Ramos is also very experienced performing in high-level matches. Guardiola will also release Eric Garcia to Barcelona, while Nathan Ake is not optimal due to injury.

As for Aymeric Laporte, this player has always been the second choice in the last two years. Meanwhile, Ramos has only played 15 times for Real Madrid this season due to an injury which prevented him from being included in the Spain squad for Euro 2020.

While quoted from the Diario AS website, PSG is reportedly ready to give Ramos a three-year contract until 2024. PSG is also said to be ready to pay Ramos 20 million euros, equivalent to Rp. 333.8 billion every season.

That means, Ramos will earn 8 million euros per season more at PSG than staying at Real Madrid. PSG's offer does not include the big bonus that Ramos will receive if he is willing to join in July 2021 on a free transfer.
