Sergio Ramos will return to the Santiago Bernabeu this Sunday evening, but the legendary Madrid captain would have loved to return under different circumstances.
This Sunday will be a special day for Sergio Ramos and Real Madrid fans. It is not the return of another former player but of the one who has worn the club captain’s armband the most and the one who scored the most important goal of the modern era of Real Madrid. It was in 2014, in Lisbon and in the Champions League final.
It is with the jersey of Sevilla, the club of his native land, that Ramos returns to the Bernabeu. A club which “saved” him from his promised trip to Saudi Arabia in the last hours of the transfer window. Before that, as Marca tells us today, Ramos hoped to receive another call, that of the club he will face on Sunday.
Indeed, after Militao’s injury, all the defenders who were in a situation like that of Ramos, that is to say without a contract, were put on alert because everyone expected that Real Madrid is looking into the transfer market to replace the Brazilian. The club considered it of course, but also quickly dismissed the idea.
Real does not take over the old ones
Beyond the fact that Madrid has decided not to strengthen, it has been shown in recent years that the club never takes back its former players. Sergio Ramos was therefore never an option considered by the club, just as Cristiano Ronaldo was not following his departure from Juventus. And as a return of Karim Benzema, who has not acclimatized very well in Saudi Arabia, is not possible.
In the case of Ramos, the story remains beautiful. He has reconnected with his origins and has shown unfailing commitment as he has throughout his career. Sevilla’s season won’t go down in history but the Spaniard is not to blame. Furthermore, he made this decision from the heart because he only receives one million euros per year when Saudi Arabia promised him 50 million euros.
