Sergio Ramos could be set to join Lionel Messi in the United States as the Sevilla defender’s agent is on the lookout for a new club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ramos returned to former club Sevilla in September after leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. However, the defender is reluctant to continue with the Spanish side and his agent travelled to the United States before Easter to visit some MLS clubs, according to Relevo. Ramos has also attracted interest from Saudi Arabia, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr reportedly interested in his services.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ramos has played regularly for Sevilla in the current campaign, scoring seven goals along the way, in what has been a difficult season for the Spanish side. Quique Sanchez Flores was appointed as the club’s third coach of the season in December following the tenures of Jose Luis Mendilibar and Diego Alonso. Sevilla currently sit in 14th place in the table but just six points off the relegation zone.

DID YOU KNOW?

Ramos is one of the few footballers to have played with both Messi and Ronaldo during his career. He spent a large portion of his career with the Portuguese superstar at Madrid before moving on to PSG. Ramos was joined by Messi in the French capital and admitted he was glad to finally be playing with the forward rather than coming up against him.

WHAT NEXT FOR RAMOS

Ramos will see out the season with Sevilla but it remains to be seen if the club will offer him a new deal or whether the 38-year-old will look for a new challenge in the summer.
