Is it time for the last dance? Why would Sergio Ramos’ return to Real Madrid make perfect sense?

Real Madrid have had to deal with two difficult situations since last week. Two key players in the starting line-up have been injured for at least six months. In both cases, however, there is the possibility of a break until the end of the season.

Real Madrid have made a successful start to the 2023/2024 campaign, winning 2-0 at Athletic Bilbao. However, the victory has a bitter aftertaste for Los Merengues, as they will have to do without Éder Militão, who seriously injured his knee and will have to take a few months off.

He has thus, for now, capped off a run of bad news that has caught Real Madrid supporters by surprise. Last Thursday, Thibaut Courtois left the training, who also tore ligaments in his knee and he will also have a very long break.

It seems that Carlo Ancelotti has already found a replacement for the Belgian goalkeeper, which should be Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Italian coach currently has three central defenders at his disposal. Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba will form the starting pair, with the experienced Nacho backing them up. But the question is, are the alternative options sufficient?

The defensive situation could be a big complication for Real Madrid. The starting pairing is one of the best in the world, but the problem could arise the moment one of the defenders gets injured or punches out.

David Alaba had health problems last season which caused him to miss fourteen games. A good portion from February to the end of March. That is, at the stage of the season when the Champions League is back on and the games are starting to pile up.

Carlo Ancelotti said in the press conference after the last game that he is not going to strengthen the defence. He firmly believes in the players at his disposal. But is this a good move?

At the moment, the possible signing of club legend Sergio Ramos, who has been a free agent since the end of his contract at PSG, would seem to be a great solution. The Spanish defender has plenty of offers from the USA or Saudi Arabia, but the player himself would prefer to stay in Europe.

According to the information that Dailymail came up with, Sergio Ramos is waiting for an offer from a club with which he will have the opportunity to fight in the Champions League. The 37-year-old stopper did not have an easy start in France, but in his second season he became a stable member of the starting line-up and showed that he definitely still has something to offer.

For the White Ballet, this could be a great short-term solution and an extension to their squad in case another setback befalls them during the long season.

What’s more? There isn’t a Real Madrid fan who doesn’t love Sergio Ramos. It’s clear that the club doesn’t want to live off the past, but why not link their paths one last time and give the club legend a farewell in a spectacular new stadium?
