Back in Seville, where it all began, Sergio Ramos made his legend with Real Madrid for more than 15 years. At the Merengues, the central defender became an icon of Spanish football and won multiple trophies. However, in 2014, the ex-Parisian could very well have left Casa Blanca to join a major Premier League club, as he himself reveals for A.S..
“I was about to play for United. My father is a big fan of this team, but I stayed where I had to, Real Madrid.says Sergio Ramos. “Despite everything, I maintain my admiration for the club, for the Premier League and for its players, because the pace of play is different, and it is a league that we can all learn a lot from. I was happy to stay in Madrid, and now I’m happy to be in Seville.” It must be said that in 2014, the Red Devils had to part ways with Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, who formed a formidable pair during the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
