Surprise at Bernabéu: U-Turn with Sergio Ramos's Future Astonishes Ancelotti

The center-back hasn't been with a team all season and will turn 39 in March.

Until recently, it seemed that Sergio Ramos's future was pointing to Boca Juniors, but everything changed in the last few hours. In Argentina, TyC has reported that the defender has already replied to the proposal he had on the table and was blunt: "No." He's not convinced by the possibility of moving there, nor by playing in the upcoming Club World Cup.

Sergio Ramos has been without a contract since last summer and will turn 39 next March. He has received several proposals—the latest from Boca Juniors—but he's not inclined to accept them. He doesn't seem willing to move to a country like Argentina and prefers to keep waiting for a better job opportunity.

Ancelotti has received the news and is amazed. After learning that Boca wanted Sergio Ramos, he expected the defender to accept this opportunity. Now he knows that this move has been completely ruled out.

Sergio Ramos Rejects Boca Juniors but Won't Return to Real Madrid Either

Just hours after Militão's injury, Sergio Ramos formally offered to return to Real Madrid. It was his first choice, but Florentino Pérez quickly dismissed the idea. It wasn't in the plans and they didn't want to play with his feelings. The relationship is good, but there's no interest in his return.

After learning that Boca Juniors wanted him, Ancelotti couldn't be happier. Any interest that a legend like Sergio Ramos generates is good. He has the doors open at Real Madrid, but not as a player. He didn't expect him to say "no" to such an important offer as the one from the Argentine team.

Having rejected this opportunity, it's yet to be seen what will happen with Sergio Ramos. Interest hasn't been lacking, although he has tried to return to Real Madrid at all times. Saudi Arabia, the United States, even some team in Europe. The main problem lies in his age (he will soon turn 39) and that he hasn't played professionally for months.

In case he decided to retire, he already knows that at Real Madrid he has the doors open to return as an ambassador. The only thing that's clear at this moment is one thing: He won't sign with  Boca Juniors; it's confirmed.
