Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is ready to push for a move to Chelsea if the club fails to open new contract talks.
Sport says Ramos is fed-up with his €3 million salary - which is less than half young teammates like Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain are enjoying.
Ramos has always felt undervalued by Real's moneymen and only saw his wages jump to their current level after arriving on a contract worth €1.5 million-a-year.
Now a World Cup winner and a big money target for Chelsea, Ramos wants indications from Real that they will make a contract upgrade a priority.
