Free since the end of his contract at PSG, Sergio Ramos wanted to bounce back in a club candidate for the Champions League. Having failed to find what he was looking for, the defender is closing in on Saudi Arabia.
After two seasons without relief spent at Paris Saint-Germain, Sergio Ramos has been free since July 1. The Spanish veteran was looking for a new destination in Europe, with the avowed desire to be able to continue to participate in the Champions League. But the salary claims of the former Real Madrid have cooled each of the clubs that were thinking of recruiting him. It is now the Saudi option that seems to hold the rope.
For a long time, Sergio Ramos hoped that he would continue to evolve in a European club. Ready to return to Sevilla FC at first, the defender quickly understood that his former club had neither the will nor the means to welcome him. Other options were then discussed, the latest of which led to Galatasaray. But there again, Ramos’ gluttony will have been fatal to him.
Reunion with Benzema?
This was confirmed AS this Tuesday. The Spanish site has thus indicated that the Istanbul club, after having hoped and doing its best to complete the file (with a proposal of six million euros net per year), has come to the obvious: the financial requirements of Sergio Ramos weren’t a match for Galatasaray’s abilities. Suddenly, the media explained that the 37-year-old man was now leaning towards Saudi Arabia.
According to the chain Al Kass, the Al-Ittihad club now hopes to recruit Sergio Ramos. Discussions have already been started. The player would like a three-year contract when the club where Karim Benzema plays in particular only offers him two. A small problem that should not prevent the player from joining the Saudi Pro League.
