Sergio Ramos wants to retire at Real Madrid

Spanish centre-back Sergio Ramos has said that he wants to retire at Real Madrid.

The 28-year-old, who joined Los Blancos from Sevilla in 2005, scored the decisive equaliser as Madrid came from behind to win the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

During the celebrations, the defender revealed that his goal is to spend the remainder of his career with the 10-time European champions.

"I feel privileged to be part of the best team in the world. I say this with a big mouth, I hope to be here for many years and retire here," he told reporters last night.

"From the first day, I felt the affection of the fans and I will always be grateful. For me it's a dream come true being able to lift the Champions League trophy. It takes a lot of hard work, sacrifice and effort and it's thanks to the players and coaches."

A report claims that Madrid are preparing to offer Ramos a new deal this summer.
