Sergio Ramos surprised everyone by choosing to continue his career in Mexico. But more than his choice, it is the conditions of his contract with Monterrey who are talking. Far from a simple transfer, the former captain of Real Madrid has negotiated privileges which question on the real nature of his commitment with the Mexican club.
A salary and performance premiums
According to the revelations of the Mexican press, Ramos will receive nearly 4 million euros per year, to which will be added bonuses for each game played, each tenure, each goal scored or for its role as captain. Even the World Cup club will guarantee special premiums, which shows the importance that Monterrey attaches to his presence.

Sergio Ramos will be much whispering in Mexico.
A financial windfall well exploited by Sergio Ramos
Sergio Ramos also knew how to negotiate a percentage on sales of jerseys in name, recovering 2 % of the profits generated. Even more surprising, he retains all of his image rights, leaving him total freedom to conclude trade agreements in Mexico without the intervention of the club.
Beyond finances, Ramos benefits from special treatment: supported housing, reinforced security measures for him and his family, but also a prestigious role. Indeed, the former Spanish international will be club ambassador at the 2026 World Cup, which will take place partially in Mexico.
A win-win strategy?
With this unprecedented agreement, Ramos ensures a smooth transition while remaining a major figure in football. For Monterrey, attracting such a name is an unprecedented marketing blow. But behind these advantageous arrangements, the sporting challenge remains whole: Ramos will have to prove that, despite its 38 years, there remains a safe bet on the field.
