While all reports agreed that Sergio Ramos would either move to the Saudi league or stay in Europe by returning to his former team, Sevilla, the veteran defender surprised everyone with his next destination. The Spanish newspaper "Sport" revealed that the 37-year-old Ramos, who announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the last season after the end of his contract, is close to signing with the American club Inter Miami.
According to the Spanish newspaper, Inter Miami has begun negotiations to sign Ramos on a free transfer after negotiations for his return to Sevilla failed. It was noted that Ramos is nearing the opportunity to play alongside his former PSG teammate, Argentine Lionel Messi, who also unexpectedly joined Inter Miami this summer after reports suggested he was close to transferring to Saudi club Al-Hilal, which offered the highest contract in football history amounting to €1.2 billion over two years, or €600 million annually, more than double what his Portuguese rival Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns with Saudi club Al-Nassr.
It is worth mentioning that Ramos and Messi, who were fierce rivals when Ramos played for Real Madrid and Messi for Barcelona, both left their respective clubs in the same year (2021) to join PSG.
