Ramos Returns: Sevilla President's Playful Wish Fulfilled
Ramos Returns: Sevilla President's Playful Wish Fulfilled
Sevilla president Jose Castro had expressed doubt when reports emerged that the 37-year-old former Real Madrid defender, Sergio Ramos, wished to rejoin his childhood club. Castro went as far as telling the media that Ramos didn't align with Sevilla's plans and quipped that if Ramos were to return, he'd like a plane.
During Ramos's unveiling as a Sevilla player, Sporting Director Victor Orta pleasantly surprised Castro by presenting him with a toy airplane. Orta humorously noted, "I'll take the opportunity to give Pepe a gift. It makes noise and everything."
This reunion between Ramos and Sevilla marks a remarkable homecoming for the player, who initially joined Sevilla's youth academy at the tender age of seven. After 18 years away at Real Madrid, where he secured four Champions League trophies and five league titles, Ramos has returned to his roots at Sevilla.
