Ramos went through the academy of FC Sevilla – but now he is saying goodbye again.

But with Sevilla performing poorly overall last season – the club finished 14th in the league table – Ramos has decided to take on new challenges.

A statement on the club’s website confirmed his departure this summer, reading: “Sergio Ramos has informed Sevilla FC that he will not continue with the Nervión club next season, after fulfilling his dream of returning to the club where he was formed as a player and made it to the senior team.”

“Sergio Ramos played 37 games in the 23/24 season, a total of 3,301 minutes and scored seven goals.

“Sevilla FC would like to thank Sergio Ramos for his commitment, leadership and tireless effort shown this season and wishes him the best of luck in his next professional challenge.”

While Ramos’ next destination is yet to be confirmed, there are some exciting and well-known potential names on the shortlist.

According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, Ramos’ agent traveled to the United States before Easter to visit various clubs in the MLS, where his former PSG teammate Messi currently plays for Inter Miami.

The Athletic reported in May that MLS expansion club San Diego FC, which is set to join the franchise in 2025, was in advanced talks with Ramos.

However, with a contract not yet confirmed, it remains to be seen whether the Spaniard will sign a deal with San Diego, another MLS team, or a club in a completely different league.
