Former Seville defender and Real Madrid -Legend Sergio Ramos are about to become a member of a new club, after six months in the wilderness after the expiry of his contract in Andalusia. It seems that his next step will be in Mexico.
After conversations in the summer with San Diego FC and Saudi Arabia, Ramos decided to find a new home, even though he was 38 years old. More recently, he was reportedly approached by Boca Juniors during a move, but those conversations did not flourish either.
However, it seems that he has found an agreement with Rayados de Monterrey in Mexico. El Chiringuito reports that the move is about to happen, with the final details of the deal that are solved. He will also bear the number 93 a tribute to Real Madrid, and his 93rd minute equalizer in the 2014 Champions League final against Atleticico Madrid who led Los Blancos won their 10th European trophy in extra time.
The previous night, manager Martin Demichelis MD told him that he was enthusiastic about the prospect of bringing in someone like Ramos.
“We have to strengthen ourselves at the back with a great player to help us, because the rivals sometimes score against us with minimal details. Can you imagine what Sergio Ramos would be for the League MX? I hope it can flourish. '
'[I’d appreciate] A player with a long history, with the personality and leadership of Sergio. They score a lot against us, they scored six goals against us in two games. Firstly as a coach and secondly as a former defender, having goals against me hurts me a lot, because I hurt so much more, “Demichelis noted after a 3-3 draw with Atlas.
Ramos helped to solidify a shaky Sevilla defense last season, despite their disappointing mid -table finish. In addition to Loic Bade, he formed a strong partnership and showed that Ramos still has a lot of defensivity to offer, despite his progressive years and loss of pace.
