The centre-back is set to leave Mexican side Monterrey.
The 2010 World Cup winner Sergio Ramos is hoping to make Spain’s squad for the 2026 World Cup. Additionally, he has also decided to leave Monterrey, as per Marca.
The Spanish centre-back declined the board’s offer to extend his contract and will depart Mexico following the conclusion of the Liguilla. The 2010 World Cup winner is actively searching for a new team. So it won’t be retirement.
Sergio Ramos stated that his cycle with Rayados has closed, even though he is happy with the fans and at ease in the city. The player’s entourage affirmed this, stating that Ramos wants to pursue a different football career even if he fell in love with the club.
It won’t be retirement, and it won’t be Monterrey
Additionally, MARCA confirmed that there won’t be a renewal. The defender, who will turn 40 on March 30, wants to keep playing, preferably in a league he hasn’t yet played in and perhaps nearer to his Spanish family.
The representatives of the players are already searching for 2026 options. MLS, Saudi Arabia, and a few clubs in Europe seem like viable options. Ramos had previously gotten a very significant offer from the Middle East before coming to Monterrey, and it may come up again.
Moreover, a chance to play for a European club will be a more ideal option for Sergio Ramos. He is ready to prove his mettle to the current Spain head coach in the hope of getting called up to the squad for the 2026 World Cup event in North America.
Despite being beyond his prime years, Sergio Ramos feels he can still boost all the qualities as a defender to lead the national team. Playing in the World Cup next year remains his objective.
