It has already been reported that Ramos has an offer on the table from Saudi club Al-Ittihad and several Turkish clubs.
The centre-back ended his tenure at PSG at the end of last season when his contract expired and was offered a number of lucrative deals.
However, the Spaniard rejected the chance to earn more money and reunite with his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema in Saudi Arabia.
And it is now confirmed that Ramos has made his return to Sevilla, 18 years after leaving La Liga.

Revealing his return, the Spanish team wrote on Twitter: “Sergio Ramos is back home”.
The video released with his announcement shows the trophies Ramos has won since leaving Sevilla.
This includes the World Cup with Spain as he became captain of the national team during his time at Real Madrid.
Transfer initiated Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Ramos would earn “almost 15 times less” than if he had chosen to move to Saudi Arabia.
The defender hopes to bring the good times back to Sevilla after struggling in La Liga in recent seasons.
When Ramos arrived in Sevilla to finalize the move, he revealed the reason why he refused to move to Saudi Arabia.
Speaking to reporters, he said: “I can’t wait to get home. It made no sense to go anywhere else without passing through here.
“It was a debt to my father, to my grandfather and to Sevilla, with a lot of things that meant a lot and I think it was time.”
