Zamalek are in talks with former Real Madrid and Spain captain Sergio Ramos for transfer

Omar Zaalouk, player agent for the Cairo club, has revealed that Zamalek are in talks with former Real Madrid and Spain captain Sergio Ramos for a possible transfer.

The 38 year old fomer Spain and Real Madrid skipper has been clubless since leaving his boyhood club Sevilla in May 2024 after his year deal expired.

In a conversation with OnTime Sports, Zaalouk said: “I am responsible for several matters related to Zamalek, such as the signing of Sidy Ndiaye and Jamal Mutyaba.

“Ali Hisham Nasr, the club’s marketing official, contacted me about the possibility of negotiating with Sergio Ramos.

“I reached out to Sergio Ramos’ brother, Rene, who is also his agent, to negotiate a transfer to Zamalek. Ramos did not object to playing in the Egyptian Premier League.

“The talks haven’t ended, but negotiations have been temporarily put on hold until the end of the CAF Super Cup.

“Zamalek made an official offer to sign Ramos, but he requested a higher financial amount than what was offered, so we are trying to reach a middle ground.

“For the record, the financial difference isn’t large, and the chances of completing the deal are 50-50.

“I don’t know if Zamalek will handle the deal alone or if businesspeople who love the club will get involved, but for now, the deal isn’t closed, and it’s very possible it could be completed after the Super Cup”, Omar Zaalouk said.

Sergio Ramos represented Real Madrid for 16 years after joining them from Sevilla. He played two seasons for Paris Saint Germain after leaving Real Madrid and returned to Sevilla for a year.

The 38-year-old has managed to win 22 major honours including 4 UCL titles, a FIFA World Cup and two European Championships during his career.

The center back won180 caps for La Roja and competed in four World Cups and three European championships.
