MADRID (AFP) - Real Madrid plan to give their international defender Sergio Ramos, who has reportedly sparked interest from AC Milan, a salary hike in order to hold on to him, sports daily Marca said Tuesday.
The president of the Spanish champions, Ramon Calderon, is set to offer the 21-year-old, who is under contract with Real until 2011, a new contract before the end of the season that includes higher pay, it said.
"Don't worry, you are not for sale," an unnamed high-ranking club official told Ramos, according to the newspaper.
Real bought Ramos out of his contract with Sevilla for 27 million euros (39.5 million dollars) just before the end of the transfer deadline in August 2005 making him the most expensive defender in the history of Spanish football.
Spanish media have reported that AC Milan are tracking Ramos as the Italain side look to reshape their ageing squad.
The player, who has four goals from 28 international caps, reportedly earns two million euros annually.
