Sergio Rico took to social media to express his heartfelt appreciation as he continues his journey of recovery from a traumatic brain injury. Presently, the 29-year-old is receiving treatment at the Virgen del Rocio hospital in Seville, where he was admitted on May 28 following a head injury sustained during an unfortunate incident involving a stray horse at a local festival. The hospital recently confirmed that he has been transferred out of the Intensive Care Unit as of July 5, and he is now undergoing further treatment to regain his strength.
Rico has triumphed in the UEFA Europa League on two occasions with his hometown club, Sevilla. Following a successful loan spell, he secured a permanent move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.
“I want to thank each and every person who has shown me and sent me their affection in these difficult days. I am still working on my recovery which each day is getting better. I feel very fortunate, once more, thank you to everyone and I hope to be able to see you soon.”

In other news, Kylian Mbappe, the talented forward of Paris Saint-Germain, has raised uncertainty regarding his future by announcing his decision not to extend his contract with the club. Last year, the World Cup winner opted to remain at PSG, rejecting a move to Real Madrid and instead signing a new two-year deal. However, speculations surrounding a potential transfer to Santiago Bernabeu have resurfaced.
PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made it clear that Mbappe will not be allowed to depart as a free agent in 2025, prompting the club to seek offers for this prized asset if he does not commit to a contract renewal by the end of the month.
Leonardo, who previously worked with Mbappe during his tenure at Parc des Princes before departing last summer, believes that the time has come for the French champions to part ways with their star forward. The situation surrounding Mbappe’s future remains intriguing and will undoubtedly impact the landscape of football transfers.
