Sergio Ramos says goodbye to Real Madrid after 16 years
Sergio Ramos: “In the last months Real Madrid offered me an offer of 1 year with 10% less salary. The money was never the problem. I wanted 2 years, then I accepted the proposal… but the contract renewal offer had an expiration date, and I didn’t know about it”
Sergio Ramos confirms: “I’m not joining Sevilla, this is not even an option. Barcelona? Impossible. You’ll never see me at Barça. I don’t know which club I’m joining yet. When I’ll know, I’ll be the first to announce it. It’s not time to talk about my future”.
