It was previously reported that Ramos had an offer on the table from Saudi side Al-Ittihad and several Turkish clubs.<\/p>\n
However, the Spaniard has rejected the chance to make more money, as well as re-unite with former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
It has now been confirmed that Ramos has completed a return to Sevilla, 18 years after leaving the La Liga side.<\/p>\n
Unveiling his return, the Spanish side took to Twitter as they wrote: ‘Sergio Ramos is back home.’<\/p>\n

Sergio Ramos has completed his return to Sevilla after snubbing interest from elsewhere<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The defender will wear the number 35 shirt, previously wearing number 5 at Sevilla<\/p>\n
The video posted along with his announcement shows the trophies that Ramos has won since leaving Sevilla.<\/p>\n
This includes the World Cup with Spain as he became captain of the national team during his time at Real Madrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Transfer insider\u00a0Fabrizio Romano\u00a0confirmed that Ramos will earn ‘almost 15 times less’ than he would have if he opted to move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
The defender will be hopeful of bringing the good times back to Sevilla after the La Liga side have struggled in recent seasons.<\/p>\n
When Ramos arrived in Seville to complete the move, he revealed the reason for snubbing a move to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters, he said: ‘I’m looking forward to going home.<\/p>\n
‘It didn’t make sense to go anywhere else without going through here.<\/p>\n
‘It was a debt with my father, with my grandfather and with Sevilla, with many things that have meant a lot and I think it was the moment.’<\/p>\n
