Overview
- Multiple French outlets reported on Tuesday that Thomas Ramos has reached an agreement to join Racing 92 on a three-year contract that would begin after the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
- Racing 92 has not officially announced the transfer and the club has publicly disputed the reports, leaving the deal unconfirmed for now.
- Coverage says the transfer timetable is linked to France selection, with the move planned to start after the World Cup but potentially accelerating only if Ramos is omitted from Fabien Galthié’s squad.
- Reports point to Stade Toulousain’s recent financial sanctions and limits on future contracts as a key factor pushing the club to reduce its wage bill and allowing Ramos to seek a new contract.
- Ramos is 31, has 52 caps and is France’s record points scorer with a decorated trophy record at Toulouse, and he says he will focus on this season while supporters wait for formal confirmation and the French squad list.
