Real Madrid Legend Declined Last-Minute Offer from Manchester United

Sergio Ramos, the legendary defender, recently made a triumphant return to Sevilla, the club where he began his career before moving to Real Madrid in 2005. However, it turns out that Manchester United made a last-minute effort to secure his services before he sealed his homecoming with Sevilla.

According to reports from The Sun, Manchester United extended a late transfer offer to Ramos, hoping to lure the experienced defender to Old Trafford. However, the offer was swiftly rejected by the Spanish veteran. This rapid response left Manchester United feeling displeased with the outcome.

Manchester United has faced a challenging start to the season, currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table after four games, with only six points and defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Furthermore, Raphael Varane, Ramos’ former defensive partner at Real Madrid, is sidelined due to injury. Hence, Manchester United appeared to be exploring the possibility of adding Ramos to their squad to bolster their defense.

Sergio Ramos remains a top-level performer, as evidenced by his role as a starter for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the previous season before leaving at the end of his contract. Despite receiving multiple offers from various clubs, including Manchester United, Ramos ultimately chose to return to Spain and rejoin Sevilla.

Ramos’ decision to turn down Manchester United highlights the lure of returning to his roots and the special connection he has with Sevilla, a club where he began his illustrious career.
