Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos announced earlier this week that he will leave Mexican side Monterrey after a short spell at the club and has been linked with a return to Europe as he remains at the top of his game at the age of 39.
Transfers have been reported that Manchester United are plotting a surprise deal for Ramos as a free agent in January. The Red Devils have not yet contacted the player’s entourage about a possible transfer, so their interest is still in its infancy.
He has been on Man United’s radar since his time at Real Madrid, so it is no surprise that the Premier League giants still see him as a worthy signing, with his experience and leadership likely to stand out in a relatively young squad.
Ramos a good short-term purchase
While the qualities he brings off the pitch, including World Cup winner with Spain and four-time Champions League star with Real Madrid, make Sergio Ramos an attractive signing, he could still have a lot to offer on the pitch in the shorter term.
Considering Lisandro Martinez is just returning from a cruciate ligament injury, Leny Yoro is prone to fitness issues and mistakes on the pitch and Harry Maguire’s contract is expiring, Ramos promises to provide a good cushion while United make some long-term signings.
The former Madrid captain is unlikely to get regular minutes if he were to join Manchester United, and that could be a hurdle for the 39-year-old’s proposed move to Old Trafford, especially if he receives a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League or MLS.
Sergio Ramos could nevertheless entertain the idea of ​​joining a club of Manchester United’s caliber and experiencing the Premier League before hanging up his boots, so his future remains an open proposition despite plenty of rumours.
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will make the Spaniard an offer in the coming weeks to try to bring him to the club in time for the second half of the season, where they will also play in the FA Cup.
