Real Madrid skipper Sergio Ramos addressed his future at a press conference at the La Liga club’s training ground on Thursday

He told reporters: “I want to reiterate that I want to finish my contract here at the club in the best way possible.“We’ve had an indifferent season, we want to put that behind us and we want to go on and do great things.“I want to leave this club successful and I hope to have many more years here at the club.”He added: “Some players haven’t been able to leave triumphantly, but I know that I want to, I would like to after giving so much here.“Let’s see what happens. Perhaps some youngsters come through and they push me out.getty3

Ramos, 33, insists he is going nowhere and wants to finish his career at the Bernabeu

“You see players who are icons in other teams in England and Italy, [Frank] Lampard, [Steven] Gerrard, these kind of players.“They try to leave at the very top and that’s what I want to do as well.”Ramos, who current deal expires in the summer of 2021, admitted that there had been an offer from China, and that things between he and club president Florentino Perez could have been handled better.He explained: “Our relationship has always been very good, like father and son – but who doesn’t have an argument with their father now and again?“We maybe should have had it face-to-face and not let third parties get involved, but that’s in the past.getty3

The Spaniard said he ‘never, ever thought’ about leaving Real to secure a lucrative move to China

“Yes, the offer was there, but it’s never tempted me.“If the fans didn’t want me here or the club didn’t want me here, then maybe it’s an offer that could be interesting.“But that’s not the case and I have never, ever thought about going off to China.”Ramos, who has been at Real for almost 14 years, was also asked about Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard. The Belgian playmaker, who scored twice and set up another in Wednesday night’s 4-1 Europa League final victory over Arsenal in Baku, has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu this summer.He said: “Hazard is a great player. He is top and I think he would be a great addition to Real Madrid. But I don’t know if he’s coming.“I don’t know what the situation is at the moment, but he could add a lot to this club.”
