Sergio Ramos has many interests outside of soccer, with investments in horses as one of them. He owns a stud farm named Yeguada SR4 in Sevilla that boasts some incredible horses. Recently, Ramos sold one of the best horses from his farm to the Saudi Equestrian Federation.

Saudi Arabia made the deal a year before the 2024 Olympics. They are trying to increase their medal chances for the event, and the deal is seen as one step toward their intention.  

Sergio Ramos cashes on ‘Best Horse’ in Spain

PSG star sold the horse to Saudi Federation recently for an undisclosed amount. Ramos bought the horse in 2021 for about $1.6 million and was co-owner with Spanish jockey Sergio Alvarez Moya. 

It was one of the 50 horses on the Ramos’ stud farm. The horse won a host of prizes since 2021 and was labeled as ‘Best Horse’ in Spain. Saudi Arabia wants to improve its chances of medals in the Equestrian event of the Olympics and has won two bronzes in its history. 

Saudi Arabia is taking various steps to promote the country and sports in the country. They are bidding for hosting the FIFA World Cup 2030. The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo is considered one of the steps to back their bid. Lionel Messi is also tied by the country in a multi-year million-dollar deal to promote Saudi tourism. 

Despite selling the horse named Alamo, Ramos still has other great horses at the stud farm. One of those horses won the World Champion Spanish Thoroughbred in November 2018. PSG star, who recently visited Saudi Arabia for the friendly, is out of contract at the end of the season and is strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. 

PSG defender’s future in the air

Ramos signed for the Parisians in July 2021 on a free transfer. He completed the move after the contract talks with Real Madrid broke down. His first season was not as expected, with injuries creeping in. Ramos has come back to form in his second season at PSG, and reports are the club might renew his contract.

However, PSG is not the only club in question. Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr are also in contention to reunite the Spanish defender with his former Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo. It will be interesting to see what Ramos opts for with his contract ending this season.
