Chris Ramos faces a radical change in his sports career by leaving Cádiz to head to Brazil. The forward from Cádiz, who has been one of the offensive references of the Andalusian team in the last season, is on the verge of finalizing his signing with Botafogo, the current champion of the Copa Libertadores. After a year in which he scored ten goals in Segunda División, the 28-year-old striker has attracted the attention of several teams, but his final destination will be in South America.
Cádiz, which saw Chris Ramos as a key piece to try to return to the elite, has had to accept that the Brazilian proposal surpasses in firmness and conditions those that had come from Spain. Rayo Vallecano, which seemed to lead the list of suitors, has been overtaken by a determined Botafogo to invest in a player who can contribute goals and experience. The signing is well advanced and the parties are working on the final details to formalize it in the coming days.
Chris Ramos will sign for Botafogo
The agreement between Cádiz and Botafogo includes an initial payment of three and a half million euros, to which one and a half million will be added in variables based on the player's performance. These figures have been irresistible for the Cádiz club, which sees this operation as an opportunity to obtain liquidity and reorganize its squad. For Chris Ramos, the signing not only represents a professional challenge but also the opportunity to live his first experience outside of Europe as a professional.
In Brazil, Botafogo expects Chris Ramos to become one of their offensive references in the coming seasons. The forward will sign a contract until December 2028, with a salary reaching one million euros per season, a significant leap from what he was earning at Cádiz. The carioca club's bet is clear: to incorporate a forward in his footballing maturity to strengthen a project that aims to continue winning titles.
The signing also marks a turning point in the career of Chris Ramos, who had so far developed his entire professional career in Spanish football. His departure from Cádiz leaves a significant gap in the team's offensive scheme, but at the same time opens a door to new opportunities for the player. Botafogo is confident that his adaptation will be quick, leveraging his physical power, his ability in aerial play, and his instinct to attack spaces.
Botafogo fans are already getting excited about Chris Ramos's arrival, while in Cádiz, there is a mix of sadness over his departure and recognition of his contribution in recent years. The signing has generated excitement both in Brazil and in Spain, as it is not common to see a Spanish player of his profile make the leap to the Brazilian league. Now, the forward will have the mission of justifying the investment and becoming a reference within a club with international aspirations.
