Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has explained the reason for refusing to transfer defender Sergio Ramos as a player.
"The decision that Ramos will not play for Sevilla is my decision. Everyone knows how much I fought two years ago for him to play here and then stay. I told Sergio's entourage that it is not appropriate to be both an owner and play for Sevilla at the same time. It is true that we do not have a salary limit, but this has nothing to do with sports issues. The other leadership has nothing to do with this decision," - Idman.Biz quotes del Nido.
It was previously reported that the defender was ready to finish the season without pay to help his home club retain its place in La Liga and end his playing career. The footballer could become the owner of the club in cooperation with Five Eleven Capital.
