The president of Monterrey's Rayados, José Antonio Noriega, expressed pride in the potential arrival of Sergio Ramos, world champion with Spain, to his team. Noriega noted that the Spanish defender had offers from several places but chose Mexican football. Noriega emphasized: "It is a pride for Monterrey to have a player of his level. We feel joy knowing that Sergio had offers from various parts of the world."
Sergio Ramos's career includes titles such as the World Cup, the Euro Cup, and the UEFA Champions League. Ramos is expected to become an important figure for Monterrey in the 2025 Clausura tournament of Liga MX, contributing his experience not only in the local league but also in the upcoming Club World Cup.
It has been mentioned that Ramos's inactivity was due to the lack of an offer that convinced him, and Monterrey managed to capture his interest with their proposal. His incorporation is expected to benefit the team not only on the pitch but also in terms of media exposure and closeness to the fans.
On the other hand, Monterrey has had an uneven performance in the 2025 Clausura of Liga MX, accumulating six points by Matchday 5. Led by Argentine Martín Demichelis, the team sits in tenth place with one win, three draws, and one loss.
If the signing of Sergio Ramos is finalized, he will join compatriots such as Sergio Canales and Óliver Torres in Monterrey. These players have been crucial in the lineup and in the cost of the squad, despite the team suffering from the injury of Mexican defender Carlos Salcedo, who got hurt in his first training session.
Ramos's arrival in Monterrey will require completion of procedures such as physical exams, contract signing, and obtaining a work visa, so his debut could be delayed by a few days. Monterrey's next match in the Clausura will be against Juárez FC, which is in ninth place in the standings.
