Spain and Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos has signed for Monterrey, the Liga MX club has announced.
“The number 93 is ready to defend the blue and white jersey,” Monterrey said alongside a video on their social media account.
“A historic defender in world football, multiple champion with Real Madrid and PSG and World Cup champion with Spain. Welcome to Club de Futbol Monterrey. Your leadership, quality, and winning mentality will take the Blue and White to great heights,” the team said in a statement.
Ramos, a 2010 World Cup winner with Spain and two-time European Champion with Madrid, had been without a team since his contract with Sevilla expired last summer. The 38-year-old had rejoined his boyhood club from Paris Saint-Germain a year earlier.
Monterrey are looking to strengthen their defensive line after losing Carlos Salcedo to an ACL injury earlier this month.
Ramos spent 16 years at Real Madrid — after coming through Sevilla’s academy — captaining the club and winning four Champions Leagues and five LaLiga trophies.
