Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Sergio Ramos has gone back to Sevilla after 18 years.
Sergio Ramos on Monday said that he was returning to his home-town club Sevilla after 18 years away.
“It’s a very special day, returning home is always a tremendous joy, now we have to do the medical,” Ramos, 37, told the media.
“Happy to return and try to contribute as soon as possible which is the important thing.”
Sevilla sits bottom of La Liga without a point after three matches but as Europa League champion, has qualified for the Champions League group stage. It starts the campaign on September 20.
Ramos left Sevilla at the age of 19 to join Real Madrid for a then record fee for a Spanish defender.
Earlier, Saudi club Al Ittihad and Turkish club Galatasaray were interested in Ramos’ transfer. Saudi Arabia and Turkey still have open transfer windows, but Sevilla appears to be the favorite, despite offering Ramos a significantly lower contract. However, it seems that the initiative for returning to Sevilla came from the player himself, rather than the club. But after the agreement of the Andalusians, it appears that the signing of the contract with Ramos could be expedited.
“I was eager to return home. It made no sense to go anywhere else without passing through here,” said Ramos who was born on the outskirts of Seville.
In 16 seasons at the Bernabeu, Ramos won La Liga five times, the Champions League four times and the Champions League four times.
He played 180 games for Spain, scoring 23 goals, and was part of the team that won the European Championship twice (2008 and 2012) and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
