[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, upon learning that Sevilla had no budget for new signings, Sergio Ramos proactively offered to play for his former club for “zero salary” until the end of the season, aiming solely to help the team avoid relegation. However, this heartfelt proposal was met with a firm rejection from Sevilla president José María del Nido Benavente. Reports suggest that Del Nido’s refusal was not related to sporting factors but stemmed from concerns about power. He was wary of the club acquisition plan that Ramos is pursuing and feared that if he signed Ramos now, he might be immediately dismissed once Ramos became the new owner in three months.
This decision left Ramos feeling quite disheartened. He had hoped to return to Sevilla, stepping up as a captain during this crucial relegation battle and ultimately retiring at the club that nurtured him. With the door to his return closing due to internal power struggles, the most likely next destination for the Spanish legendary center-back is Ligue 1 side Marseille.
