Newcastle considering lucrative offer for free agent Sergio Ramos

Newcastle United are exploring the possibility of signing former Real Madrid and Sevilla defender Sergio Ramos on a free transfer. The 38-year-old Spanish international has been without a club since his contract with Sevilla expired last summer. Despite speculation about a potential return to Real Madrid, who are in need of defensive reinforcements, Newcastle have emerged as surprise contenders for Ramos's signature.

According to reports, the Magpies are willing to offer Ramos a contract worth approximately £105,000 per week, which would place him among the club's top earners. Newcastle's interest in Ramos stems from their ongoing defensive crisis, with key centre-back Sven Botman sidelined for much of the season due to injury.

The potential addition of Ramos, with his vast experience and leadership qualities, could provide a significant boost to Newcastle's backline. For Ramos, a move to Newcastle would present an opportunity to test himself in the Premier League for the first time in his illustrious career.

The financial backing of Newcastle's owners means that the club can compete with top sides for high-profile signings, potentially making the move an attractive proposition for the Spanish defender. However, Ramos may also be considering other options, including a possible move to Major League Soccer or Saudi Arabia, which could offer even more lucrative terms.
