Sergio Ramos Calls Florentino Again: There's been a Change of Opinion in the Club

Real Madrid has several transfers pending during the upcoming summer transfer window. One of the most pressing, requested by Carlo Ancelotti for half a year, is in the heart of the Madrid defense. The urgency of adding a central defender seems to be a clear need for everyone at the club.

That's why the board led by Florentino Pérez has been scouting the market for some time, evaluating almost all available options. During this process, some unlikely transfers have been ruled out. Such as veteran central defenders whose contracts end in just half a year or who are already free agents.

One of those names is Sergio Ramos. The former Madrid "4" has expressed, both privately and publicly, his desire to return to Santiago Bernabéu changing room after all the injuries that occurred this soccer season. The reply from the Valdebebas offices has been, in recent weeks, a resounding and emphatic no.

However, with the Madrid bosses open to many options and types of transfers, Sergio Ramos has seen an opportunity to wear white again and finish his career there. That's why he reportedly called Florentino Pérez once more, offering himself to join the Meringue sports discipline.

Persistence

The competitive reality of the team seems far from the incorporation of Sergio Ramos. Taking advantage of the obligation to sign, the white bosses have reportedly decided to continue with the generational change: the focus is on players who can provide longevity and quality in equal measure.

While it's true that Sergio Ramos could provide that quality, the negative aspect would be his age. His arrival would be a short-term transfer, something they wish to avoid from the Valdebebas offices. For that reason, he has received so many rejections since he tried to return to the Spanish capital club.

The absence of Ramos as a transfer option for Madrid during the 2025 summer opens a plethora of options in the elite soccer market. One of the most mentioned names these days is Castello Lukeba, although his transfer wouldn't come cheap: 90 million euros.

In any case, Real Madrid will continue to consider all possible and available alternatives based on their financial capabilities. The main restrictions keep out a Sergio Ramos who insists on returning to the Madrid stadium... something for which it seems to be too late.
