In November, Real Madrid was in a real defensive crisis. Injuries came on a continuous basis, now the reigning champions were looking for a short-term solution. Club legend Sergio Ramos had left Sevilla, was still in good form and was up for the task. There was no reunion.

According to the Spanish TV program El Chiringuito, Ramos offered his football services to the Real management. Everything was in place for a happy reunion, but the Spanish media reports Ramos’ Real friends turned it down. It was a hard blow for Ramos not to be able to end his career at the San Bernabeu, we think it is not easier to digest that Real Madrid in crisis rejected him once again.

However, the 38-year-old is not giving up and does not intend to nurture his singing career full-time. Ramos has been linked to several clubs in recent months, at Monterrey in the Mexican top league it is being negotiated, club president Antonio Noriega confirms.

Yes (there is dialogue), but the same goes for others,” Noriega told ESPN.

Former defender Martin Demichelis is the coach of Monterrey, he is clear that he wants Sergio Ramos in his central defence.

“I hope it happens. It will be an honor for the league and for Monterrey. I hope it can fall into place. I would love for a player with Sergio’s career, personality and status to come to us,” Demichelis told ESPN.

There is a large Spanish-speaking market in Mexico that is just waiting for Ramos. Both on the football field and wiggling and singing in front of a microphone.
