Spaniard happy with added responsibility at Bernabeu

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has shrugged off reports surrounding his future, insisting that he is happy at the Bernabeu.

The Spain international has been linked with a move away from the La Liga giants, with Chelsea rumoured to be interested in his signature.

But the former Sevilla right-back says he would be more than happy to stay at the club for the remainder of his career.

He told Fifa.com: "As for the future, you can never say what’s going to happen in football, although I am happy here. I’m very grateful to Sevilla and Madrid for having moulded me as a player and a person.

"And what more can I ask for than to be with the best club in the world, in a fantastic city and with my family close by? I love it here and if they offer to renew my contract for life, I’d jump at the chance."

"I know I need to earn a few more stripes and I’m more than happy to accept that challenge. I’ve been here for seven years and I’ve absorbed the values of this great club by playing alongside legends like Zinedine Zidane and Raul," he added.

"Now I’m sharing the captaincy with Iker Casillas and I have to set an example and help the newer players, who don’t know the club so well."

Ramos is rated by the Castrol Rankings as the 24th best player currently plying his trade in one of the top five leagues in Europe.
