Free since the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain last June, Sergio Ramos had some difficulty finding a new team to revive, so the summer transfer window was rather calm for the Spaniard, despite some transfer rumors in July. However, the former Real Madrid player had just completed a convincing second season in the capital. Logically therefore, things have settled down in recent weeks when the Spanish central defender has been approached by several clubs including two in Turkey (Besiktas and Galatasaray) and another in Saudi Arabia (Al-Ittihad).
As we revealed to you this Sunday, Sergio Ramos was initially due to travel to Saudi Arabia in the coming days to negotiate and finalize his transfer to the Middle East knowing that Al-Ittihad had accelerated the process to bring him. Despite attractive offers from both Turkish outfits, the 37-year-old had until now been determined to join the Saudi club. But a last-minute reversal could ultimately change everything in this case. Indeed, this Monday, the Spanish defender’s training club, Sevilla FC, made a proposal to his entourage in order to repatriate him to Andalusia.
Discussions continue
While Victor Orta replaced Monchi, who left for Aston Villa, at the end of last season as sporting director of Sevilla FC, the Spanish leader did not immediately respond positively to Sergio Ramos’ request last June. to return to the fold. The 44-year-old has nevertheless now given the green light for the Sevillian club’s proposal to be sent to the central defender as soon as possible. Despite this keen interest and a mutual desire to meet again, negotiations are still underway between the various stakeholders in this file. Nevertheless, the latter should be completed in the coming days, especially since the season has already resumed.
If Sergio Ramos joins Sevilla FC, the former Real Madrid player would return to the Champions League at the same time as the Sevillian club qualified by winning the last edition of the Europa League. The training coached by José Luis Mendilibar is also part of group B with Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven and RC Lens. It would therefore be a very interesting new challenge in Europe for the native of Camas and a great opportunity to increase his number of participations in meetings of the most prestigious European competitions.
