Legendary Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos joins CF Monterrey in Liga MX, aiming for a sixth Liga MX title and a strong showing in the Concacaf Champions Cup and Club World Cup.
After a hiatus of over eight months from the soccer field, legendary Real Madrid center-back Sergio Ramos is set to make a comeback, joining CF Monterrey in Liga MX. Ramos will bolster a team that narrowly missed out on a three-peat title in the Apertura 2024, losing the final to Club América . Monterrey now harbors high expectations for the first half of 2025, aiming for a sixth Liga MX title in the Clausura 2025. Anything less than a championship victory would be considered a disappointment.
Beyond domestic success, Monterrey has set its sights on improving upon last year's Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal run and securing a strong performance in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, given the significant investment made in the squad.Club León had previously made a splash in the Liga MX transfer window by signing Ramos's former Real Madrid teammate, James Rodríguez. Monterrey's sporting director, José Antonio 'Tato' Noriega, responded to the challenge by convincing Ramos to join Rayados, alongside fellow Spaniards Oliver Torres and Sergio Canales. Noriega's impressive squad building has earned him the nickname 'FlorenTato' on social media, drawing comparisons to Real Madrid's renowned president. Ramos will travel to Mexico in the coming days, and manager Martín Demichelis will decide when he is ready for his debut.When Monterrey finally unveiled an introductory video announcing Ramos's arrival, they also revealed his new shirt number. To commemorate his legendary career, Ramos chose 93, a tribute to the defining moment of his time at Real Madrid - the 2014 Champions League final. He scored the equalizer in the 93rd minute against Atlético de Madrid, sending the game to extra time, where Real Madrid ultimately clinched the victory, ending their Champions League drought. Real Madrid acknowledged the significance of the number, posting a picture of Ramos in his new jersey and wishing him well in his new chapter. Many anticipate Ramos's potential debut against Querétaro on February 16th
