Whilst Sergio Ramos has been at the heart of Real Madrid news regarding the uncertainty of his future in the Spanish capital.
The central defender is out of contract at Los Blancos on 30 June and is theoretically free to speak to other clubs as he is yet to renew his deal.

It has now been detailed how not only is Ramos the top scoring defender in the entirety of the 21st century to date, but he is 47 goals clear of his nearest challenger.
