Sergio Ramos, former Spain defender who departed Sevilla for Real Madrid 18 years ago has made a triumphant return. At the age of 37, he has inked a one-year contract after parting ways with Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
“It’s a very special day, returning home is always a tremendous joy,” said Ramos, who returns to Sevilla with the club bottom of La Liga.
“I am happy to return and try to contribute as soon as possible, which is the important thing.”
Ramos won a World Cup and two European Championships with Spain, earning a record 180 caps over 16 years, while also lifting four Champions League trophies with Real Madrid.
He grew up on the outskirts of Seville and joined the club’s academy aged seven, going on to make 50 appearances in all competitions before signing for Real Madrid in 2005.
During his 16 seasons in the Spanish capital, Ramos made 671 appearances, collected 22 trophies, and added five La Liga championships to his European triumph.
After his Real contract finished in 2021, he joined PSG and played there for two seasons, earning back-to-back league championships.
