Sad moments were witnessed at the fortress of Real Madrid as their captain Sergio Ramos bid farewell to the fans in tears after 16 years with the team, heading towards one of Europe's giants. Speculations have risen about the next destination for the veteran defender, who will soon decide on the new club he will represent, likely one of four major clubs in Europe.
**Paris Saint-Germain**
Paris Saint-Germain appears to be the leading candidate to sign Ramos due to the club's significant financial capacity to offer "fantastical" salaries that attract stars. PSG has been the most active in the transfer market so far and seems determined to approach the new season with "fierceness" in pursuit of the UEFA Champions League.
**Manchester United**
Manchester United is struggling defensively due to the weaknesses in the center-back positions. Ramos could be the new defensive general who brings a renewed spirit to the "Red Devils" defense.
**Bayern Munich**
The German giant seems to be the most fitting for Ramos in terms of status, as the German club is among the strongest in Germany. It is also a perfect place for veteran stars who face less media pressure while competing for the Champions League every year. Ramos’s compatriot, Xabi Alonso, concluded his career at Bayern Munich admirably, as did club legends Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, whose farewells were dignified.
**Chelsea**
The European champions are looking to strengthen their defense and may turn to Ramos to partner with German Antonio Rüdiger, bolstering Chelsea’s defensive power. The high salary will not be a barrier for the club's management, which has promised substantial deals.
**Juventus**
The last option is Italian Juventus, which may use Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos's former teammate, as a bargaining chip. Juventus has veteran defenders, so the prospect of signing Ramos could be unlikely, as he might prefer a "more exciting" experience than Serie A, like that in England.
**Out of the Running**
The newspaper "AS" confirmed that Manchester City management is not considering signing Ramos, and he is not part of Pep Guardiola's plans. Furthermore, the player himself has denied the possibility of returning to his former club Sevilla or wearing the jersey of fierce rivals Barcelona.
