Ramon Ramos, the big leagues fight for the ‘new Marcelo’

He has just turned 20 and his name is Ramon Ramos Lima, and many see him as the new Marcelo. If the madridista left the Fluminense quarry, Ramon has won the title this season with Flamengo and several of the main clubs in Europe have him in their sights. The Portuguese Benfica, the Monaco in France, the Swiss Basel and the Ukrainian Shakhtar have already called their representation agency, even thinking about this winter market. Ramon shares an agent with Real Madrid Militao (UJ Football Talent). But this promising left-hander also has suitors in Spain …

In LaLiga, the main interested in getting their services is Granada, although there are other teams that have this promising defender satelliteized, such as Espanyol or Real Sociedad. The main problem is the high economic demand that Flamengo has for this player who also counts in the plans of the Brazilian Under-20 team. Tite even summoned him to prepare for the Copa América when the players from Europe had not yet arrived. Its starting price is 6 million euros. Contract ends in 2024.

Ramón Ramos is one of the most charismatic players at Flamengo, the club with the largest number of fans in Brazil, despite his youth. He made his debut with the first team in 2018 and in recent months has had an important role in the eleven. The left-handed winger was involved in a tragic traffic accident last December. The car he was driving collided with a cyclist, who was killed when he was transferred to the hospital. The player called the emergency services and assisted the cyclist, and then voluntarily went to testify to clarify the event. Now, Ramón Ramos intends to overcome this tragic accident as soon as possible and start a new sporting life in Europe. Offers have not been lacking since last summer, when Benfica himself was very close to closing his signing.
