The Spanish star Sergio Ramos, former Real Madrid player, has become a topic of discussion in the Iraqi sports scene over the past hours, following reports of him receiving an official offer from the Air Force Club, a move described as surprising to Iraqi football fans.

Ramos is not currently under any contract, as his relationship with the Mexican club Monterrey ended on the first of January 2026, prompting him to seek a new professional experience at the end of his illustrious football career.

With no official updates on the deal, some media outlets have questioned the validity of the offer from the Air Force Club, especially given the financial and technical complexities associated with signing a player of Sergio Ramos's caliber.

In this context, the president of the Air Force Club, Maad Badai, confirmed in media statements the authenticity of the offer to the Spanish star, saying:

He stated that the offer to Sergio Ramos is one hundred percent real and correct, and the club's management has made an official offer to the player, noting that his agent has initially welcomed the offer.

He added that the club's management is still awaiting the player's final response, pointing out that the Italian club Milan has entered the negotiations, after making a financial offer of five million dollars, while confirming that the Air Force Club will continue negotiations until a decision is made.

The club president explained that the deal might be financially costly, but a businessman who loves the Air Force Club will cover all the contract details, whether related to the contract's value or providing housing, transportation, and personal security, along with all the requirements the player desires.

It is noteworthy that during his professional career, Sergio Ramos has represented clubs such as Sevilla, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Mexican club Monterrey, since his debut with Sevilla's first team in 2004, achieving numerous domestic and continental titles.

The Air Force Club aims to compete strongly for the Iraqi Stars League title, after being absent from the podium for more than four years, amid the dominance of the Al-Shorta Club in the championship during past seasons.

After 15 rounds of league competition, the Air Force Club is in second place with 31 points, and the Falcons hope that the next season will be their gateway to returning to Asian competitions.

The team is currently led by the Omani coach Rashid Jaber, who has succeeded in forming a distinguished mix of local and Arab professional players, most notably the Jordanian Muhannad Abu Taha, the Omani Issam Al-Sabhi, and the Kuwaiti Eid Al-Rashidi.
