The Spanish central defender Sergio Ramos joins the Rayados team in Mexico as a star signing and prepares to compete against River Plate in the Club World Cup in mid-2025. The team, led by former River Plate coach Martín Demichelis, confirmed the signing of the world champion with Spain from the 2010 World Cup, who arrives at the Mexican club as a free agent after finishing his contract with Sevilla in June 2024.
At 38 years old, Sergio Ramos has an impressive career and various titles in his trophy cabinet, including two European Championships with the Spanish national team and numerous trophies with Real Madrid, where he played for 16 years. In addition to the World Cup, he has won 4 Champions League titles, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Supercups, 5 Spanish La Ligas, 2 Copa del Rey titles, and 4 Spanish Supercups.
During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, Ramos added 2 Ligue 1 titles and a French Supercup to his collection. In his new adventure in Mexico, he will wear the number 93 on his jersey in homage to the goal he scored in the Champions League final of 2014 against Atlético Madrid, a decisive moment in the history of Real Madrid.
Despite the interest from Boca Juniors' Football Council in signing him, Sergio Ramos chose to continue his career in Europe and ultimately joined Rayados de México. In the Club World Cup, he will have the opportunity to face his former team River Plate, as both teams share Group E with Urawa Red Diamonds and Inter Milan, highlighted by the presence of Lautaro Martínez.
