Ramos signed for Real from Sevilla in 2005 for 27 million euros at the time, a record fee for a Spanish defender. Making 671 appearances and scoring 101 goals, Ramos was made captain in 2015 after the departure of goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Ramos, 35, is one of the club’s most successful players ever, having won five La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and two Copas del Rey.
Real said there would be an “act of tribute and farewell” to Ramos on Thursday in the presence of club president Florentino Perez.
Too bad Real Madrid didn’t find it worth renewing his contract as I see Ramos being another Suarezstory who is bound to shine elsewhere.
Now, the question that is on everybody’s mind is:
Where will this legendary player go next?
And who will fill in Ramos at Real Madrid?
In this thread, let’s share Ramos career at Real Madrid, his new club options and his replacement choices at Real Madrid.
Ramos becomes a free agent on 1 July. Although he is 35, he has no intention of retiring and the centre-back’s final destination is still not finalised, with reports linking him to a catalogue of clubs including PSG, Manchester City and Sevilla.
In May 2019, Ramos had said that he “would play for Madrid for free” but he had wanted a new two-year deal on the same €15m salary, minus a 10% reduction applied across the squad because of the coronavirus crisis.
Sergio Ramos in tears during his Real Madrid farewell: “I’ll come back here one day, I’m sure. I want to say a huge thanks to Real Madrid, I will always carry you in my heart”.
Sergio Ramos confirms: “I’m not joining Sevilla, this is not even an option. Barcelona? Impossible. You’ll never see me at Barça. I don’t know which club I’m joining yet. When I’ll know, I’ll be the first to announce it. It’s not time to talk about my future”
The Spanish defender wants to move to PSG. So far he has rejected offers from Man City, Man Utd, AS Roma and AC Milan. He believes that playing for PSG will suit him best. He has even started to look for houses in Paris .
