“It’s never easy to say goodbye. A stage of my career that began with so much excitement in February has come to an end. I have left everything on the pitch and off it to be able to give my very best. I’ll always look back fondly on this stage of my career.” The statements were then carried out by Monterrey.
The timing of his departure and the fact that he is a free agent, has opened the door for a number of European contenders. However, reportedly, Manchester United have moved with unusual determination. As per reports in Spain and England, the Red Devils have been ‘working for weeks’ on a formal proposal.

They want to bring in Ramos on a short-term deal. Reports suggest that the package they’re offering the former Real Madrid Star includes a competitive salary, leadership responsibilities, and a key role for the second half of the season. This pursuit could mark yet another chapter in a long flirtation between Ramos and Man United.
The defender himself revealed in a past interview with The Mirror that he once came close to joining the Premier League club, saying, “I stayed where I should have stayed, Real Madrid, but I was indeed close to playing for United.” His admiration for the league, he noted at the time, never faded.

However, the scale of the offer certainly shows that even at his age and at this stage of his career, Sergio Ramos is still considered a force to be reckoned with.
