It has been argued that Sergio Ramos could be transferred to Premier League (PL) club Newcastle United.
Spanish media ‘Pichahes’ reported on the 25th (Korea Standard Time) that “Currently, Newcastle is carefully considering recruiting 38-year-old defender Ramos as a free agent.”
The reason why Newcastle are struggling to recruit Ramos, as revealed by the media, is closely related to the club’s situation. Currently, Newcastle’s key defender Sven Boatman cannot play on the ground for up to nine months due to a major injury such as an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. On top of that, Jamal Lascelles is also expected to make his appearance in January due to a cruciate injury.
Fabian Cher and Lloyd Kelly are thus emerging as key center backs. Nevertheless, it is imperative to recruit new defenders in order for Newcastle to advance to the UEFA Champions League, which is its goal this season.
At the same time, Newcastle immediately began to search for resources that could be used as a sense of power and is closely watching Ramos’ moves. According to the media, Newcastle is confirmed to be willing to pay 10 million euros (about 14.6 billion won) per year in exchange for Ramos.
Ramos is a legendary defender who no one can disagree with. He made his professional debut in the 2003/04 season with his Spanish club Seville. Since then, he started playing as a main defender in the 2004/05 season.
Ramos was a full-back 이브벳 player at the time and displayed world-class skills in terms of performance. Real Madrid, which had been eyeing Ramos’ performance, then chose to recruit him prior to the 2005/06 season.
Ramos’ joining in Real has become a historic choice. He played 671 matches with Real, scoring 101 goals and 40 assists. Thanks to Ramos’ performance, Real has won five La Liga and four UCL titles, opening a golden era that will remain in the club’s history.
Ramos continued his career with the Spanish national team. Ramos made his A-match debut in March 2005 and played a total of 180 matches. This is the most number of matches played in the history of the Spanish national team. It was not just that there were many matches. Ramos led the club to Euro and World Cup championships during that period.
