There is a confidence inside Real Madrid that deals with veteran pair Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos will be settled BEFORE Christmas.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito.

"I do not know if the president (Florentino Perez) is going to announce it at the Assembly, but if he does not do so that week it will be the next," said Inda.

"The renewals of Ramos and Modric are underway, surely more that of Luka.

"Sergio Ramos will renew for two years, perhaps an optional one. At the moment the question is whether to renew one more. He will renew for what he earns, €12 million net, which will be 14 if he wins a title.

"Florentino and Ramos say that the negotiations have cooled down. If both meet, it is done.

"In the case of Modric, I think it will be a year with an option for another."
