During Matchday 12 of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, Monterrey faced Pumas in Mexico City. In the midst of this match, a fan approached the team's sports president, Tato Noriega, to ask him to seek the hiring of Cristiano Ronaldo. In a video that went viral on social media, the follower insisted: "Tato, bring Cristiano," to which Noriega responded with laughter mentioning that he could seek support to finance the signing.
This funny episode generated mockery among fans, as the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo signing with Rayados seems remote, given the player's high salary and his intention to stay at Al Nassr until his retirement or receive an offer from an elite European team.
It is worth noting that with the arrival of players like James Rodríguez and Sergio Ramos to Liga MX, they have entered the top 3 highest-paid footballers in the league, both falling below Sergio Canales, who receives around 7 million dollars annually.
The recent transfer market in Liga MX was particularly busy due to the imminent arrival of the Club World Cup. Major signings were made during this period, leaving fans speculating about possible movements that could occur in upcoming tournaments.
