Sergio Ramos, the 4x Champions League winner, is back in Spain. The Sevilla youth academy product has once again signed for his childhood club. Sevilla is close to Sergio Ramos’s heart, and he waited until the very end for the move to happen. There was no surety of a deal and he has been a free agent for 65 days. But it was his heart and his hope, that made him wait until the 93rd minute.

In an interview, Sergio Ramos said, “I had the opportunity to stay in Paris, even for two years, but I didn’t see it. I have always been a person who has moved by impulse, by the heart, and I have never moved for money.”

He further adds, “That’s why it didn’t make sense for me to go to Arabia, nor to go to the MLS, nor to go anywhere else but here. That’s why I waited for the call until the last moment and it came in the 93rd minute, as it were.”
