Sergio Ramos to Leave Monterrey at Year’s End, Eyes European Return to Revive Spain Bid

He intends to keep playing after his contract expires to position himself for a 2026 World Cup recall.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the 39-year-old has decided not to renew with CF Monterrey and will depart when his deal ends in December.
  • Monterrey president José Antonio Noriega acknowledged renewal talks took place but declined details to avoid distracting the team.
  • Reports attribute his choice to family proximity in Europe and the belief that regular minutes in a top-tier league could aid a Spain return.
  • Potential next stops cited in media include Roma, Bayer Leverkusen and Marseille, with MLS interest — notably Inter Miami — also mentioned.
  • Ramos logged 30-plus appearances for Monterrey, scored several goals and became the Club World Cup’s oldest goalscorer during 2025.
