Why Sergio Ramos Left Mexico: Key Reasons Behind His Departure

While some expected Sergio Ramos to continue with the Rayados de Monterrey, he now appears set to leave Mexican football. According to reports from El Chiringuito, the Spanish player is leaning towards a return to Europe, ideally Spain, if a suitable offer comes along. His decision is influenced by a desire for a family environment similar to what he had at home, as well as the ambition to reintegrate into European football to remain eligible for the Spanish national team ahead of the World Cup.

The former captain of La Roja believes that playing in a more competitive league could help convince Luis de la Fuente to consider him for selection, similar to Aymeric Laporte, who returned from Saudi Arabia to Athletic Bilbao to stay on the radar of the national coach. Despite approaching 40 years of age, Ramos has made a significant mark at Monterrey, scoring seven goals in 30 matches across all competitions, including one during the Club World Cup. His media and commercial impact has also been considerable.
