Saudi Arabia has splashed a lot of cash in this summer transfer window. The league managed to get some of the best young talents from Europe. The clubs offered staggering wages to lure players to sign for their club. Amid this chaos, stood a man who wanted neither money nor fame. Rejecting the riches of PSG and ditching Kylian Mbappe‘s team. The former Real Madrid player always had one destination in heart and he kept waiting until the last minute.

In a recent interview, the ex-PSG player talks about what unfolded and why he chose to leave all the money behind and follow his heart. The player has now completed his move to the 7x Europa League winners. His motive is to add more trophies and make their history more wild.

Kylian Mbappe’s former teammate doesn’t seek wealth

Sergio Ramos, the 4x Champions League winner, is back in Spain. The Sevilla youth academy product has once again signed for his childhood club. Sevilla is close to Sergio Ramos’s heart, and he waited until the very end for the move to happen. There was no surety of a deal and he has been a free agent for 65 days. But it was his heart and his hope, that made him wait until the 93rd minute.

In an interview, Sergio Ramos said, “I had the opportunity to stay in Paris, even for two years, but I didn’t see it. I have always been a person who has moved by impulse, by the heart, and I have never moved for money.”
