i'm wondering how many places Man.City have jumped in the world richest club list
If richest clubs are valued by the amount of revenue per year, either Madrid or Manchester are top.
RAMOS WANTS TO RETIRE AT REALReal Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has spoken of his desire to spend the rest of his career with the Spanish champions.
Ramos, 22, is next week set to be offered a new 10-year contract by Madrid directors eager to keep hold of their star players following the sudden departure of Robinho to Manchester City.
"It's been some great news. I'm very happy in Madrid and it's my desire to retire at this club," Ramos told Spanish newspaper AS.
"I feel happy here with the club, the city and with the fans.
"Now my objective is to play as well as possible and help the national team and Madrid to achieve their goals. I'm going to give everything for Spain and Real, that's for sure."
It is believed Madrid's intentions are to make goalkeeper Iker Casillas club captain in 2011, following the expiry of Raul's contract, with Ramos stepping up to vice-captain.
Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Rafael van der Vaart, Pepe, Ezequiel Garay (who will join next summer), Gonzalo Higuain, Fernando Gago, Marcelo, Javi Garcia, Miguel Torres and Ruben De la Red are all also in line to receive similar deals eventually, while Raul, Guti and Ruud van Nistelrooy have already signed their so-called 'contract for life'.
