Real Madrid’s captain, Sergio Ramos, is leaving after serving the club for 16 years.
This comes after the 35 year-old Spaniard refused a one-year deal with Real on a 10% pay cut.
In 2005, Ramos signed with Los Blancos from Sevilla for 27 million Euros, a record fee for a Spanish defender at the time.
Making 671 appearances and scoring 101 goals, Ramos was made captain in 2015 after the departure of goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
He also won 22 trophies with the team.
