Monterrey Dreaming of Cristiano for the Club World Cup

The possibility of seeing Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo together again has stirred excitement across the football world. Recent reports suggest that the Rayados de Monterrey center-back is pushing for the Portuguese icon to join the Mexican club ahead of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off June 14 in the United States.

Monterrey, the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League winner, is one of the qualified teams, while Cristiano’s current club, Al-Nassr, failed to earn a spot in the tournament.

At 40 years old, the Portuguese forward has expressed interest in pursuing new challenges as his record-breaking contract in Saudi Arabia nears its end. He has recently been linked with clubs from both Europe and the Americas.

Ramos Leading the Push for Reunion

Transfer market insider Nicolò Schira reported that Monterrey has shown formal interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo specifically for the Club World Cup. The move reportedly has the full support of Sergio Ramos, who is actively encouraging his longtime friend to join him in the Liga MX.

The two shared nine seasons together at Real Madrid, building one of the most successful eras in club history. They won four Champions League titles and two LaLiga championships together, becoming central figures in a legendary squad.

The idea of seeing CR7 potentially face off against Lionel Messi, who is set to play the tournament with Inter Miami, adds even more excitement. Fans in Mexico and around the world are eager to witness another chapter in the storied rivalry—this time in a new setting.

Although there is no official confirmation yet, the rumor alone has thrust Rayados de Monterrey into the global spotlight. The big question remains: Can Sergio Ramos convince his former teammate to join the Mexican giants for one last ride on the world stage?
