Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos without boot deal

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is without a boot deal.

Marca says after negotiations with Nike broke down over a new deal, Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has spray painted his boots black so the American company's logo would no longer be visible whenever the player took part in a match or training.

Adidas was quick to swoop in for the Spanish centre-back, but a stall in talks has meant that Ramos is looking at other options.

The 30-year-old defender was one of the most emblematic faces of Nike but after demanding an improved deal, was unable to come to an agreement.
