Spanish defender Sergio Ramos is reportedly in discussions over a move to the yet-to-be-formed San Diego FC of Major League Soccer.
The longtime Real Madrid and Spanish national team defender currently plays with Sevilla in La Liga.
According to The Athletic, no deal has been agreed upon or finalized, but it’s believed that Ramos would be a designated player.
Sources told The Athletic that there are other offers that Ramos has across the globe that he could consider before San Diego.
Ramos is by far one of the greatest defenders in the history of world football – and by far one of its most decorated.

Ramos has won trophies both at the club and national team level and is one of football’s most decorated defenders – winning the World Cup, the Euros, and multiple Champions Leagues
He’s also known for his fiery reputation – having racked up 29 red cards across his career
He’s won four Champions League trophies, two Copa del Rey titles, and five La Liga titles with Real Madrid – a team with which he made 671 total appearances, good for fourth most all-time.
Ramos also won back-to-back Ligue 1 titles in France with Paris Saint-Germain in 2021-22 and 2022-23.
He’s also an incredibly accomplished player for the Spanish national team – having won the 2010 FIFA World Cup and winning the Euros in 2008 and 2012.
Ramos has 180 caps for the Spanish national team, making him the most capped player in the country’s history.
But he’s also known for having a fiery streak – picking up 29 red cards across his entire career.
Making the move for Ramos now is a bit of an interesting one considering the club hasn’t even hired either a sporting director or a head coach.
The Athletic reports that Moncao technical director Carlos Avina Ibarrola has been tabbed for the sporting director job and that a deal could be announced this month.
Ramos’ contract with his boyhood club, Sevilla, expires at the end of the La Liga season.
