Feared by the attacking players, legend at Real Madrid before he was tearfully squeezed out without extension. Even last autumn, when Real Madrid experienced an injury crisis in central defence and free agent Ramos offered his services, the La Liga giant did not let his club legend in. 38 years old and still hungry for more football, Oksen Ramos has made a surprising choice of club.
Last week, Mexican Monterrey’s club president announced that there was a dialogue with Ramos, where the Spanish icon was “one of the options”. The club’s coach showed considerably more enthusiasm for the prospect of getting Ramos in the squad. On Thursday, the confirmation came, the 38-year-old has signed a one-year contract.
Monterrey is one of the oldest top clubs in Mexico, in a Spanish-language league where bone football is seen as a virtue. In other words, prefect for Sergio Ramos.
