Thomas Ramos to Join Racing 92 After Next Season

The 31-year-old signed a three-year deal that will start ahead of the 2027–28 campaign and follows Toulouse's recent €2.88m salary-cap fine.

Overview

  • Ramos will leave Toulouse at the end of the coming season and join Racing 92 on a three-year contract that takes effect before the 2027–28 season, clubs confirmed on Tuesday.
  • The player said the decision was difficult and that he will concentrate his energy on his final season at Toulouse while preparing for a new challenge in Paris.
  • Ramos is a long-serving Toulouse figure with 200 senior appearances, the club's record points scorer, two Champions Cup wins and decisive moments for France including a match-winning Six Nations penalty.
  • Reports say Toulouse allowed Ramos to speak to rivals from 1 July and that Racing moved quicker than other suitors such as La Rochelle to secure him.
  • Observers call the signing a major coup for Racing 92 and say it highlights how Toulouse's €2.88m fine for salary-cap and transparency breaches is reshaping their roster and the wider Top 14 transfer market.
