Sevilla Ultras Issue Statement Condemning Sergio Ramos’ Signing, Citing ‘Lack of Respect
Sergio Ramos’ return to Sevilla after 18 years away from the club, spent predominantly at Real Madrid, is indeed a fairytale moment for the player personally. However, his arrival has not been met with universal approval from the Sevilla fan base, particularly from the Biris Norte group, known for their passionate support.
Despite Ramos’ emotional video apology and expressions of gratitude, the Biris Norte released a statement expressing their discontent with the signing and the club’s leadership. They accused the directors involved in the decision of prioritizing personal or financial interests over the values that have traditionally defined the club. They emphasized that their opposition is directed more towards those in charge of the club rather than Ramos himself.
While there is clearly tension surrounding Ramos’ return, Sevilla fans often differentiate between their support for the team and their views on specific players or decisions made by the club’s management. It remains to be seen how Ramos will be received by the fans at matches and whether time will help heal the rift caused by his departure many years ago.
