    On his former Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho taking the Roma job, Eto’o admitted a little disappointment.

    He continued: “It hurt me, I won’t hide it, to see the one who gave me the opportunity to win in Italy go to another team. But I know he is happy and friendship is above all else.

    Departing Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos says he hasn’t made a decision about his next move.

    Ramos leaves Real Madrid after 16 years with the club as his contract expires this month.

    He said at his farewell media conference today: “We have not thought of any team. As of January, which I am free, there have been some other calls. But at no time have we had in mind to leave Real Madrid.

    “From now on we will look for a solution. To this day I do not contemplate the idea of Sevilla. Barça? It is a resounding no, like the new Bernabéu when it was grown.”

    On Real’s contract offer, Ramos added: “I don’t know if it has been a priority. The club has its own, it will plan … There is no player who is above the entity. I don’t know what priorities the club has.

    “I do not know the reasons why the offer expires. Within a negotiation period I understand that what was asked at the beginning was one thing and what is asked at the end is another. I suppose I misinterpreted it.”

    Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos admits it was difficult leaving Sevilla.

    The current Real Madrid and Spain captain departed his boyhood club to join Los Blancos in 2005, but an explanation for the move was never offered, leading to speculation and allowing false stories to spread.

    “I know what Sevilla is and how the fans feel,” Ramos said in his documentary. “Nobody can tell me, because I’ve experienced it since I was young.

    “All of the information was manipulated, and they lied to Sevilla. It was painful, not only for me but for my family. I’ll never forgive them for the pain my grandparents went through, for my parents, who cannot return to Sevilla’s stadium.

    “It’s the biggest pain that I’ve felt. That’s why I’ve acted with rage and with anger when I’ve played and scored there, because of everything my family have suffered.”

    Despite the problems that came from his move, Ramos has no regrets about the decision he made.

    “I’d make the same decision a thousand times over, but I’d never let anyone tell the story that was told at the time,” Ramos said.

    “To this day I can always say that I’ve played for Sevilla and that I’ll always be a Sevilla player until I die, but I can also say proudly that I’m Real Madrid and Spain captain.”
