Sevilla have confirmed the departure of defender Sergio Ramos, who is leaving the club at the end of his 12-month contract.
Ramos returned to Sevilla last summer after two years with Paris Saint-Germain but is best known for his impressive 16-year career with Real Madrid, where he won five La Liga titles and four Champions League titles.
Now 38, Ramos is on the hunt for another club after Sevilla confirmed they have decided not to renew his contract.
“Sergio Ramos has told Sevilla FC that he will not stay next season after fulfilling his dream of returning to the club he went to school with before playing for the first time,” read the statement. “Ramos played 37 games this season, scoring seven goals.
“The club would like to thank Sergio for the dedication, leadership and commitment he has shown this season, and wish him the best for the future.
“Sergio Ramos will say goodbye tomorrow at 11:00 at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, accompanied by the Club President Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco.”
It is reported that at the beginning of this year, Ramos will go to Major League Soccer.
Athletic revealed that the veteran defender has held talks with San Diego FC, an expansion team that will debut in MLS in the 2025 season.
However, Ramos is understood to have received offers from several clubs around the world. There have been many rumors about a reunion with Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
The serial winner, Ramos could not prevent Sevilla from falling to a disappointing 13th place in the 2023/24 La Liga standings, with the team finishing just eight points off the relegation zone.
