Monterrey is currently in discussions to extend Sergio Ramos’ contract, which is set to expire at the end of this year.
The seasoned Spanish defender joined the Liga MX team in February and has played 15 league matches, netting two goals.
“Certainly, we will engage in negotiations; that’s expected,” Monterrey president José Antonio Noriega told journalists when asked about the chances of team captain Ramos signing an extension.
“I don’t want to disclose too much because what truly matters at the moment is the team’s performance and how they will tackle a tough opponent like America.”
Monterrey is preparing for the first leg of the Apertura quarter-finals against the United States on November 26.
As Ramos approaches his 40th birthday on March 30, 2026, he has expressed a strong desire to continue with Monterrey.
“While my contract concludes in December, I hope to remain here because I feel very happy and settled,” Ramos stated last month.

“Mexico has been kind to me, and Rayados (Monterrey) has a fascinating project ahead.”
Ramos, who was part of Spain’s 2010 World Cup-winning team and holds two European Championship titles, spent 16 years with Real Madrid. After securing four Champions League and five La Liga titles with the team, he departed as a free agent in 2021.
Fan Take: This news is significant for soccer fans as it underscores the importance of veteran leadership in a competitive league like Liga MX. An extension for Ramos not only speaks volumes about Monterrey’s ambitions but also highlights the continuing relevance and influence of experienced players in shaping the future of soccer.
