Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits he'd like to see Sergio Ramos sign a new contract.

The captain is in talks over a new deal.

Zidane said: “It's a good question. The key thing is that Sergio is our captain, our leader, our reference point. Whether he can play or not, it's of no interest to me or anyone else to have him on the bench. He has to play, although I have to make the decisions.

"My answer would be that Sergio Ramos is our captain and is hugely important for us. For the madridistas, the players, and all he represents for us. I always want Sergio Ramos on my side. Always with us, and he looks in great shape. I was a substitute as well, but only three or four times."
