Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitez is confident that Sergio Ramos will ultimately decide to remain with the Spanish club this summer.
The Spanish international has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United, who are in the market for a marquee signing in the transfer window.
However, according to Benitez, a recent meeting between Ramos and club president Florentino Perez to discuss the 29-year-old's future was successful.
"I spoke with the president at dinner on Sunday and he told me that he was going to talk to Ramos," Benitez told reporters after Monday's 3-0 win over Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup.
"I asked them both [about the meeting] and both were optimistic, so we'll see what happens."
It has been reported that Ramos is ready to sign a new long-term deal at the Bernabeu this summer.
