JAKARTA - It has been confirmed that the aging defender Sergio Ramos will no longer be with Real Madrid next season, after the Spanish giants confirmed his departure.

This was confirmed after Real Madrid on Thursday morning, western Indonesia time, uploaded the agenda for the honor and farewell to Ramos.

The event is scheduled to take place on Thursday at Madrid time and be attended by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, while Ramos is scheduled to have a virtual press conference with the media beforehand.

This announcement means Ramos will end his 16-year tenure at the Spanish capital club.

The 35-year-old defender won 22 trophies for Real Madrid, since being bought for 27 million euros from Sevilla in 2005, which at the time broke the record for most expensive defender transfers in Spain.

Despite playing at defender, Ramos has been relatively prolific with 101 goals in 671 appearances for Real Madrid and has assumed the captain's armband since 2015 following the departure of goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

Spanish media reported that Ramos failed to turn down a one-year contract extension offer with Real Madrid with a 10 percent pay cut clause.

Ramos' last season ended with Los Blancos not winning any titles, and he himself was plagued with injuries so often that he was left out by Luis Enrique from Spain's final squad for the ongoing Euro 2020.
