SERGIO RAMOS is in "advanced negotiations" for a move to the MLS this summer, according to reports.
The Real Madrid legend, 38, returned to boyhood club Sevilla last summer after two years with Paris Saint-Germain.

He has played 34 times this season - scoring seven goals - but the team have struggled and are languishing in 12th in the LaLiga table.
Ramos only signed a deal until the end of the season and his contract is not expected to be renewed.
Now, according to The Athletic, he is in talks to join San Diego FC.
The report states no deal has been agreed or finalised, but that talks are at an "advanced" stage with the team set for their debut season next year.
Ramos is one of the most decorated defenders in the history of the game.
He won five LaLiga titles, two Copa del Reys and four Champions Leagues at Real Madrid.
He also claimed two Ligue 1 titles with Paris Saint-Germain.
And at international level he lifted back-to-back European Championships, as well as the World Cup in 2010.
But his return to Sevilla after 18 years away has not been the fairytale many would have envisaged.
In January, following a 2-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao, he became embroiled in a row with a disgruntled fan during a post-match interview.
One month earlier, he enraged Atletico Madrid fans after stepping over their badge when coming out to warm-up at the Wanda Metropolitano.
He was then booed throughout the match as Atletico claimed a 1-0 win over Sevilla.
