Liverpool have completed the permanent signing of Natalia Ramos from CD Tenerife, subject to visa approval and international clearance. The 27-year-old central midfielder becomes the club’s sixth new arrival ahead of the 2026/27 season and will wear the No.6 shirt.
She scored ten goals and provided five assists across 30 Liga F appearances last season. For Liverpool, this is not simply another midfielder capable of circulating possession. It is an attempt to introduce regular attacking production from a deeper area of the team.

Fifteen Contributions From Central Midfield
Natalia Ramos directly contributed to a goal once every two league appearances last season. Ten goals would represent a strong return for many forwards. Reaching that total from central midfield gives Gareth Taylor a player capable of influencing attacks without occupying one of the primary forward positions.
Ramos describes herself as ambitious, strong in character and eager to contribute at both ends of the pitch. “I love to attack but obviously to defend, and I love to score goals,” she told Liverpool’s club media.
Her role should not be reduced to arriving late in the penalty area. Ramos’ value lies in combining the responsibilities of central midfield with an instinct to move attacks towards goal.
If that output transfers to England, Liverpool will gain a source of goals that opponents cannot address simply by marking the central striker or closing down the wingers.
Liverpool Are Signing the Finished Evidence
Natalia Ramos has made more than 200 appearances for Tenerife across all competitions.
That record separates her from a developmental signing. Liverpool are recruiting a midfielder who has carried senior responsibility over several seasons and is entering the Women’s Super League after the most productive attacking campaign contained in the information available.
Her experience should help her understand when matches need control and when a midfielder must take greater risks. The WSL will present different physical and tactical demands, but Ramos is not learning the fundamentals of senior football while adapting.
She arrives at 27 with a clear idea of her game and the confidence generated by ten goals in her final Tenerife season. The transfer asks whether she can reproduce those qualities in a faster and unfamiliar league, not whether she is ready for first-team football.
Why the Timing Made Sense
Natalia Ramos has spent her entire senior career in Spain and described the Liverpool opportunity as one that might only appear once.
The move therefore comes at an interesting point. She has already surpassed 200 club appearances, but is still young enough to build a significant chapter outside Liga F.
Liverpool provide the scale and competition she was seeking. Ramos provides the immediate senior quality expected from the sixth signing of an extensive summer rebuild.
She also arrives with a familiar Spanish-speaking teammate in Alejandra Bernabé, which may help during the early stages of her transition. Ramos has nevertheless acknowledged that this is her first experience of both England and Liverpool.
Settling off the pitch will be important because the team cannot wait indefinitely for six new arrivals to become comfortable with each other.
More Than an Isolated Scoring Season
Goals will attract the most attention, but Liverpool must ensure Natalia Ramos remains connected to the wider midfield. Her own description suggests she takes pride in defending as well as attacking. That balance will determine whether Taylor can give her the freedom to advance without weakening the structure behind the ball.
A midfielder who scored ten times can become easy to define through numbers alone. Liverpool need the positioning, work without possession and competitive character that allowed those contributions to emerge.
Wearing No.6 does not dictate that Ramos must operate as the deepest midfielder. It does underline the level of responsibility she is accepting within the team. Her task will be to help Liverpool control matches while retaining the willingness to enter the areas where games are decided.
The Main Question Travels With Her Goals
Natalia Ramos also brings international pedigree from Spain’s youth teams. She represented her country at Under-17 and Under-19 level and was part of the squad that won the 2017 Women’s Under-19 European Championship in Northern Ireland.
Her career has since been built at Tenerife, where more than 200 appearances established the consistency behind this transfer.
Liverpool now offer her the first major change of that career. The club’s sixth signing is experienced enough to contribute immediately but arrives with one significant unknown: whether last season’s attacking numbers can survive the move from Liga F to the WSL.
If they do, Liverpool will have signed far more than a new central midfielder. They will have found goals in an area where opponents may not expect them.
