Big comeback! Sergio Ramos rejects Arab money and returns home to Sevilla

Football hasn’t lost its romantic side after all. Sergio Ramos has been waiting all summer for an offer from Sevilla, where he grew up as a boy. It didn’t come all summer and the iconic stopper had to consider other offers, including million-dollar ones from Arabia. But Ramos was eager to return home.

After two years at PSG, Sergio Ramos ended his time under the Eiffel Tower in June and has been waiting for a new engagement ever since. Since then, he has been training on his own, turning down offers because he had only one in mind. From Sevilla.

He really wanted to go back to Ramón Sanchéz Pizjuán, where he grew up as a child, passed through the youth category to the A team, where Real Madrid picked him up after great performances.

But the management was against it. Ramos was repeatedly linked with a return to Andalusia, which Sevilla officials publicly denied.

Sevilla’s new sporting director Victor Orta let it be known on 8 August that with six stoppers on the roster, his return was impossible. Moreover, he stated that Sevilla wants to focus on buying young players and this strategy is not in line with the arrival of such a veteran.

Moreover, during the Super Cup, president Pepe Castro joked when journalists told him that Ramos would like to return to Nervión. “And I want a plane,” Castro replied.

But after a poor start to the season, three defeats and a last-place finish with zero points, the management changed its mind. According to Fabrizio Romano, the two sides have agreed to a short-term contract and Ramos is expected to report home soon.

His homecoming is all the sweeter because he resisted million-dollar offers from Saudi Arabia or MLS to return to Sevilla. Not all footballers put money first.
