According to a report from AS, it has come to light that although Sergio Ramos’ name has been brought up in light of Real Madrid’s injury crisis, the club is not considering signing the free agent due to their strained relationship.
Real Madrid are grappling with an injury crisis that has left the club scrambling for solutions. The latest setback involves centre-back Eder Militao, who suffered a devastating injury that will keep him sidelined for nine months.
This development has forced the club to reconsider its transfer strategy. Militao’s severe injury, which includes a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament and damage to both menisci, has ended any debate about signing a new centre-back.
The club can no longer afford to wait, and two options are now on the table: sign a free agent immediately or wait until the January transfer window.
Why is Real Madrid not considering Sergio Ramos?
Initially, Sergio Ramos’ name emerged as a potential solution. The veteran defender is currently a free agent, and his experience and quality would undoubtedly bolster Real Madrid’s defence.
However, the club’s strained relationship with Ramos makes his return highly unlikely. According to sources, Real Madrid believes that no currently available free agent centre-back meets the club’s high standards.
Ramos is the only notable exception, but his reunion with the club is considered impossible due to his fractured relationship with President Florentino Perez. The club’s hierarchy views this chapter as closed.
Everything points to January
Despite some internal disagreement, all indications suggest that Real Madrid will opt to wait until January to address the centre-back void. This decision allows the club to assess its options and explore the transfer market more thoroughly.
Meanwhile, Raul Asencio’s impressive performance has provided manager Carlo Ancelotti with a glimmer of hope. Asencio’s emergence could potentially alleviate some pressure on the club to make an immediate signing.
With the January transfer window looming, Real Madrid will carefully weigh their options. The club’s priority is finding a centre-back who can meet its expectations and help navigate the remainder of the season. For now, patience seems to be the preferred approach.
