The big news, agreement reached between Sergio Ramos and the legendary African club!
Since leaving Sevilla FC, Sergio Ramos has found himself looking for a new challenge to take on. Free from any contract, the emblematic Spanish defender, who shone both under the colors of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, has never hidden his desire to continue his career, despite his 38 years. His ambition to remain competitive at a high level has quickly put him at the center of numerous transfer rumors, with several clubs looking to secure his services.
From the early days of his contract freedom, numerous teams have been mentioned as potential destinations for Ramos. Among them, San Diego FC, a new Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise that will make its competitive debut in 2025, has expressed some interest. This American team could have offered Ramos the opportunity to discover a new championship while being one of the headliners of a nascent project in a league in full expansion.
Outside of the United States, European and South American clubs have also positioned themselves on the issue. In Türkiye, Galatasaray, one of the biggest clubs in the country, would have considered recruiting the former captain of La Roja to strengthen their defense. Saudi Arabia was not left out, notably with the Al-Orobah team which would have considered attracting Ramos to a championship where several international stars have already set down their bags in recent years. In South America, Brazil was particularly interested in the defender. Renowned clubs such as Botafogo, Corinthians, Flamengo and Vasco da Gama have been mentioned as potential destinations, each seeing in Ramos a figure capable of bringing experience and leadership to their squads.
However, an unexpected development occurred recently. Indeed, a new avenue has opened up on the Egyptian side. Zamalek, one of the most prestigious clubs on the African continent, have shown concrete interest in the Spain international. What initially seemed like just another rumor quickly gained momentum. According to several local sources, negotiations between Ramos and the Egyptian club have advanced significantly in recent days, to the point that this option could become a reality in the near future.
If this Egyptian track were to materialize, it would represent a real twist in the career of Sergio Ramos, who has never played in Africa. Far from the more traditional destinations with which his name has been associated, joining Zamalek could allow him to continue to evolve at a competitive level while discovering a new footballing environment, rich in history and passion.
An agreement between Sergio Ramos and Zamalek
When asked about the status of negotiations to sign Spanish defender Sergio Ramos, Zamalek president Hisham Nasr confirmed the progress of the talks. He said: “ Yes, there are negotiations with Ramos. This would be a sporting investment deal that would significantly improve the club's reputation. We are working to finalize the financial value, and the player will join us once the salary is agreed. » These comments suggest that an agreement is about to be reached between all parties concerned.
If this agreement were to go through, it would represent a huge blow for Zamalek, a Cairo-based club, which is among the most prestigious in Africa with an impressive list of 79 trophies. The team, currently led by Portuguese coach José Manuel Gomes, is in great form. They recently added a new line to their record by winning the African Super Cup, where they beat the great Egyptian rival, Al-Ahly. The arrival of a football legend like Sergio Ramos would undoubtedly strengthen Zamalek's position, both in sporting and media terms.
