"Real Madrid swooped to sign Sevilla defender Sergio Ramos for 27 million euros late on wednesday night. With the transfer window on the verge of closing, Real agreed ot pay the center-backs buyout clause which exceeds what the club paid for Robinho, making Ramos the most expensive of the summer transfers in Spain.
Ramos, who earned rave reviews last season, will provide competition for the likes of Ivan Helguara and Johnathan Woodgate in the Real defence.
After such a crucial defensive signing, the odds on Real claiming La Liga may well shorten.
Sevilla reacted to the departure by signing Serbia & Montenegro defender Ivica Dragutinovic on a three-year deal from Belgain side Standard Liege"
