Thomas Ramos transfer to Racing 92

Overview

French international Thomas Ramos has announced he will join Racing 92 from Stade Toulousain following the conclusion of the 2026–27 Top 14 season. Ramos, the all-time leading point-scorer for France, has signed a three-year contract with Racing 92.

Ramos described the decision as “particularly difficult” but noted a desire for a new sporting challenge, including a potential transition into the number 10 position. He has since clarified that the move is not motivated by financial incentives, noting that he has previously turned down more lucrative offers to remain with his current club. He emphasized that the opportunity to play as a fly-half for Racing 92, allowing for a “more direct impact on the game,” was a decisive factor.

His departure occurs as Stade Toulousain manages roster challenges and economic constraints, including recent salary-cap sanctions and a €2.88 million fine that have impacted the club’s ability to retain senior players. The club is also facing contract uncertainty regarding other veteran players, such as François Cros, as upcoming salary cap adjustments may limit the ability to offer salaries commensurate with veteran status.
