Sergio Ramos tried until the last moment, but was refused by Florentino Pérez. The center-back was crazy to return to Real Madrid, to the point of offering to be signed for free. Apart from not having to pay anything for his transfer, Ramos was willing to play for free, as revealed by 'Defensa Central'.
Trying to show that his desire was sincere and that he wanted to return to Real Madrid from the bottom of his heart, Sergio Ramos said: " I'm playing for free, don't pay me a single euro." However, Florentino Pérez has decided to reject him, thanking him, of course, for his offer. He has never liked second spells for players, and even less so when we are talking about a legend of his caliber.
What wasn't entirely convincing about Sergio Ramos was his age. At 38 years old and having been out for half a season, he wasn't considered the best option for Real Madrid. He lacks competitive rhythm, even though he is training alone and taking care of himself physically. Florentino's reply is irreversible: he is completely ruled out.
Sergio Ramos Will Not Return to Real Madrid
Having received confirmation from Florentino, what Sergio Ramos is now doing is looking for a new destination. He will not wear the Real Madrid jersey, he has confirmed that, and the options are becoming fewer and fewer, at least at the first level .
He has several offers from teams in less demanding leagues, but it seems that Sergio Ramos will continue to wait for one last chance in the elite... which will not come from Real Madrid.
Florentino Pérez, willing to pay for Sergio Ramos' 'competition'
In the latest program on 'El Chiringuito', José Álvarez revealed the price of Florentino's favorite center-back.
The president has been considering several possible transfers, but seems to have a clear target: Aymeric Laporte. At 30 years old, he is dying to return to Spain and has even given his approval for such a move.
"He has an agreement to leave for a lower price than he should have, in theory. Aymeric Laporte cost 30 million and I'm told he could leave in the winter transfer market for 10-12 million , or even for free in June," said José Álvarez.
Aymeric Laporte's contract with Al-Nassr doesn't end until 2026, but it seems that he has a clause available to allow him to leave. What is clear about the Spanish international is that he is willing to take a significant reduction in his current salary to play for Real Madrid. Florentino has started the first contacts and everything will depend on his final price.
