"This is not a goodbye, it's a see you later," Ramos said.
"Because I will be back."
Ramos was reported to have rejected a pay cut but he claims the reason for his departure is that there was an expiration date by which his contract needed to be renewed.
"In the last months Real Madrid offered me an offer of one year with 10% less salary," Ramos explained, per Fabrizio Romano.
"The money was never the problem. I wanted two years, then I accepted the proposal... but the contract renewal offer had an expiration date, and I didn't know about it."

Raphael Varane is said to be weighing up a transfer as well, meaning Ancelotti could lose both starting central defenders in one summer.
