Inter market, Nerazzurri also swoop on legendary defender

Sergio Ramos is officially released, and many European clubs immediately raised their antennae in anticipation of his return to the Old Continent. The Spanish defender has decided not to extend his contract with Monterrey at the end of the season, and after the defeat against Toluca and elimination from the Mexico Cup the former Real Madrid center back made his farewell official. “Obviously this was my last game in Mexico and I already made it clear last week”, said in a post-match interview Ramos, who has no intention at all of hanging up his boots.

“It’s bad to end with a defeat, but we have a clear conscience for having given everything on the field. It&#8217s a matter of learning, getting up and knowing that this is also part of soccer. The biggest sin is not having given the fans a new final, which they would have deserved greatly. Thanks always for the support, go Monterrey”. Sergio Ramos has not been outspoken about his future, but according to rumors he is aiming to find a team in Europe to showcase himself with a view to a possible call-up to the Spanish national team, where, however, he has not played since 2021. Several clubs have been approached to him in the last period.

In Italy, Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan have shown interest in his signing in the past and would welcome him with open arms to reinforce their defensive departments. The Nerazzurri had already tried two years ago to wrest a contract from him but the deal fell through because Ramos chose to return to Sevilla. He now looks forward to an experience of his own in Italy. L’Inter in January could free up a spot right in defense: leaving could be Tomas Palacios. The Argentine defender, who arrived in the summer of 2024 for 6.5 million euros, had played on loan at Monza in the second half of last season before returning to Inter in the summer.

Palacios never managed to climb Cristian Chivu’s hierarchy and a few days ago he was injured again in training. According to Tuttosport reports, the player, who is undergoing conservative therapy, has reportedly informed the club of his desire to return to Independiente Rivadavia, the club he arrived from in 2024. Inter would not oppose his permanent transfer, but much will also depend on the condition of the player, who may be forced to undergo surgery to solve his problem.
