Sergio Ramos to quit Real Madrid after 16-year stint

Legendary Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos is to quit the club after 16 trophy-laden seasons, the La Liga giants announced Wednesday. Real said there would be an “act of tribute and farewell” to Ramos on Thursday in the presence of club president Florentino Perez.
Ramos, 35, has struggled with injuries this season and has played just five times since the start of the year.
His 21 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions is his lowest in 16 seasons playing for the capital club. In all he played 671 games for Real, scoring 101 goals.
Ramos joined Madrid from Sevilla in 2005, the sole Spaniard brought in during Perez’s first stint as president.
