Their website states that there will be a farewell press conference for Ramos tomorrow, with the Spanish defender leaving after a legendary career at the club.
Ramos joined as a youngster from Sevilla, and he’s gone on to give 16 of the best years of his career to Los Blancos, helping them win a number of major trophies.

Most notably, Ramos played his part in Real winning four Champions League titles in recent years, and even scored in two final victories against rivals Atletico Madrid.
It’s not yet clear where Ramos will go next, but one imagines the veteran centre-back will have plenty of suitors as he remains one of the finest in Europe in his position.
