Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has demanded an increased wages in the contract. El Mundo Deportivo claims Ramos wants a doubling of his wages or else he will leave the club.

Ramos is demanding his current €3 million-a-year deal - which was signed four years ago - be significantly improved.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is believed to be a big fan of the Spain international, and kis understood to have made enquiries about him in January.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has said that there is no thoughts about winning the Champions League at the moment after defeating Tottenham 4-0.

The right-back admits it was a favourable outcome for the Spanish giants, but will need to respect their opponents and not think too far ahead.

"It is a favourable outcome for us," the 25-year-old said after the match. "The players will go home with the tranquility of having done things right this evening.

"I don't think we should be speaking about the semi-final, as it would be disrespectful to our rivals."

Sergio Ramos' agent and has said that many clubs from Italy and England are interested in signing the defender.

Ramos has been in talks with Real about a new deal taking him to 2017 - but as yet nothing has been agreed.

His brother, Rene, is also his agent and although he has confirmed talks with Real are due to take place - he also acknowledged interest from abroad.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has told he like to play with Lionel Messi. The full-back was addressing the media today in Spain’s international training camp at Las Rozas ahead of Wednesday’s friendly match against Colombia.

The debate has been reignited by comments made by Atletico Madrid coach Quique Sanchez Flores, who branded Messi the ‘Di Stefano of the 21st century’.

Ramos, however, believes the opposite to Flores: “That question depends on each person, but I would side with Cristiano, because he plays in my team.”

Sergio Ramos has ruled out any advantage for Real Madrid in the title race. The Merengues are currently four points behind Barca and travel to Pamplona to take on Osasuna this weekend and Ramos admits there is no room for error.

"We have to stop thinking about the Copa del Rey and focus on La Liga," Sergio Ramos is quoted as saying by Madrid's official website.

"Unfortunately, we don't depend on ourselves in the league and we cannot afford to drop any points. If we do, the distance from the leaders will grow too large.

Sergio Ramos scored the opening goal in the victory over Atletico Madrid and played well throughout the match. The visitors made a perfect start to the game, taking the lead within seven minutes of play. A lovely through pass from Jose Antonio Reyes picked out Sergio Aguero, who was allowed to sprint in on goal despite being in a marginally offside position. The Argentine prodded the ball round Iker Casillas and was tumbled by the goalkeeper in the process, but Diego Forlan closed in to score a simple tap-in, saving the home player from a likely red card.
