Newcastle United have been linked with a surprise move for the Spanish international defender, Sergio Ramos.
According to a report from Fichajes, they are plotting a move for the 38-year-old defender, and they could be willing to submit an offer of around €10 million to get the deal across the line.
The experienced defender could be tempted to join a Premier League club at this stage of his career and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The 38-year-old will be hoping to compete at the highest level, and he could prove to be a useful short-term acquisition for the English club.
There is no doubt that he is a quality player and he has the experience of winning several major trophies for club and country. His leadership, qualities, defensive attributes and winning experience could prove to be invaluable for Newcastle. They are struggling with injury problems at the back and they need to invest in a quality defender.
Newcastle have looked vulnerable at the back, and they will have to tighten up defensively if they want to finish the season strongly. If Ramos can adapt to English football quickly, he could be a very useful addition.
The former Real Madrid defender has proven himself at the highest level, and he has the experience and the quality to succeed in England as well. He will look to make his mark in the Premier League if the transfer goes through.
Newcastle move could tempt Sergio Ramos
Newcastle are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and they have the resources to get the deal across the line. The defender could be excited to join their ambitious project. At this age, he is unlikely to get the opportunity to join some of the biggest clubs in the world, and therefore the move to Newcastle could be very tempting for him. It could be his final opportunity to compete for trophies at a high level.
Meanwhile, signing a player of his ability on a free transfer would be an impressive bit of business as well. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League side can secure an agreement with the player in the coming weeks.
