Reports suggest that Inter Miami has initiated discussions with Sergio Ramos for a remarkable reunion with his former Paris Saint-Germain teammate Lionel Messi.
What unfolded? Inter Miami has sent shockwaves across the football world in recent weeks with the acquisitions of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, and now it appears they are poised to bring in yet another former La Liga legend.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: As per sPORT, negotiations are underway between Sergio Ramos, the former Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain defender, and an MLS side. For many years, the Spanish World Cup winner was a direct rival of Barcelona stars Messi and Busquets, but he played alongside the latter at PSG during the final two years of his career.
AND WHAT’S MORE: sPORT also reports that Inter Miami is in “very advanced negotiations” with Spanish full-back Jordi Alba, who terminated his Barcelona contract at the end of last season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR Ramos? The defender reportedly intended to stay in Paris, but PSG chose not to offer him a new contract. The 37-year-old has been linked with Sevilla and several clubs in Saudi Arabia, but he appears set to join the “La Liga revolution” in Florida. This includes former Barcelona manager Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, who replaced Phil Neville as coach last month. With Inter Miami currently at the bottom of the MLS standings, Ramos could bring much-needed experience, leadership, and defensive quality to the team.
