Sergio Ramos has decided against continuing at his boyhood club Sevilla, bringing to an end his brief one-year spell at the club. The 38-year old is now a free agent on the market, and is expected to move outside Europe.

The ex-Real Madrid skipper, after spending a brief stint at PSG, signed at the beginning of the 2023-24 season. It marked his return to Sevilla after 18 years, most of which he spent in Madrid. Although his arrival sparked controversy among fans, he managed to win over them, drawing thousands to his presentation at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. He was signed by the Los Blancos in the summer of 2005, for a record €27 million.
