MADRID – On Wednesday Sergio Ramos announced he would be departing Real Madrid which has prompted the wild rumors that always follow this sort of news among the oddest is that Inter Miami CF could be in the race for his signature.
That rumor comes from an old article on AS.com in 2020 suggesting that the Spanish player wanted to reunite with David Beckham in Miami and get to join the team. The original plan was this would take place after the 2022 World Cup.
The pair are good friends from Beckham’s time at Real Madrid and there’s a desire for Ramos to rejoin his friend on the beach.
The AS story came before the Miami salary cap cheating scandal, which not only left the club well and truly without space for a player of Ramos’ caliber but also with a lessened budget of allocation money to bring in talent.
Chelsea has also popped up on the list of teams that could attract Ramos, and with a bigger budget, no salary cap to worry about, and being close to home that may be a more realistic place for Ramos to go until the World Cup.
It seems that any major player in their mid-30s is automatically linked to the Herons but with a complicated roster, especially in light of the scandal from last season, it’s doubtful that Miami could add any one of them. Notably, these rumors always tend to come up from non-American sources who may be less familiar with the complexities of Major League Soccer.
