Ramos joined Sevilla
After Ramos’ long spell with Real Madrid ended, he joined Paris Saint-Germain and saw out the contract in this year’s summer before rejoining Sevilla as a free agent.
37-year-old Ramos was born and bred in Seville, made his senior squad debut in 2004 at the age of 19, and the following year he joined Real Madrid.
Ramos is one of the most decorated players in football history, having lifted 16 trophies during his years at the Bernabeu.
Ramos’ first words as a new Sevilla player
“Hello Sevillistas, today is a very special day for me, very emotional. I’m finally coming home and I’m looking forward to the moment when I can feel the Sevilla shirt and the crest on my chest again,” Ramos said in his unveiling video with Sevilla.
“It’s been 18 years since I left, I think I made some mistakes and I would like to take this opportunity to apologise personally and ask for forgiveness from any Sevilla fan who was offended by the things and gestures I may have done at the time. I believe that we are all in the same boat, then we are all the same family, there are too many people on the outside for us to be fighting each other. So I just want to tell you that I’m just another player, I’m here to contribute, I’m here to push in the same direction.”
What’s next for Ramos: His debut
Ramos could make his return debut for Sevilla against Las Palmas on September 16 after the international break ends.
Meanwhile, the veteran was also named in José Luis Mendilibar’s squad to compete at the European elite competition.
