“Sergio Ramos has informed Sevilla FC that he will not remain at the Nervión club next season, having fulfilled his dream of returning to the club where he developed as a player and where he achieved senior international status. Sevilla FC would like to thank Sergio Ramos for his commitment, leadership and dedication this season, and wishes him good luck in his next professional challenge.”. Through a press release, the Andalusian team, fourteenth in the last Liga season, has made official the departure of Sergio Ramos (38 years old). An announcement which has raised a question: where will the former Real Madrid defender bounce back?

Having returned to Spain after a short stint in France with Paris Saint-Germain, the Spanish international (180 caps, 23 goals) does not seem ready to hang up his boots yet. Author of seven goals and an assist in 37 matches in all competitions last season, the 1m84 right-hander has, in fact, proven that he can still play a leading role in a European team.

It’s true that the United States is a country that says a lot about family. Today, there is nothing with any team anywhere.”he reacted to this rumor at a press conference on Tuesday.

In addition to American soil, Sergio Ramos could also be tempted by the Saudi challenge. Already approached by the Saudi Pro League last summer, the Spaniard had finally opted for the Andalusian project, but his confirmed departure should not fail to revive the interest of the Gulf…

Finally, other markets should also be scrutinized by the interested party. Like his compatriots, David Villa or Andrés Iniesta, SR4 could then bounce back in Japan, or even in Turkey, two countries known for welcoming players at the end of their careers. One thing is certain, before deciding, Ramos will take the time to think. World Sports specifies, in fact, that the player is currently in no hurry and wants above all to give priority to the family aspect. An aspect which should logically guide his final decision, he who now has nothing more to prove after having played 816 professional matches (117 goals, 42 assists)…
