Where next for Sergio Ramos?
Sergio Ramos is leaving Real Madrid. We know that much. But his farewell still has many pages left to be written, chief of which, note Marca, related to where hes actually going to go. The word on the street, at least, is that the Andaluz has something up his sleeve. Rene, Sergios brother and agent, has been active these past few months, ever since it became clear that a parting of the ways could be in the offing. There will be suitors; Ramos is still one of the best centre-backs in the world, and is sure to be filled with the rage and hunger thats made him the man he is. His plan, after all, was always to retire at Madrid as a legend. That option no longer exits, so the question is whats his second choice. Paris Saint-Germain and China dont seem to be realistic homes right now. The brave choice, of course, would be Sevilla, the club Ramos left for Madrid in the summer of 2005 as a fresh-faced, long-haired 19-year-old. Hes very much a Sevillista and a Sevillano, a proud Andaluz who retains a property in Camas, his place of birth. Having come so close in the title race last season, they could do with his leadership. Whatever happens, its going to be intriguing to see his next step.
