Sergio Ramos, the former Real Madrid captain, has joined CF Monterrey, opting for the number 93 jersey, representing his iconic equalizer in the 2014 Champions League final. He previously turned down Fenerbahce, despite their strong interest led by his ex-manager Jose Mourinho. After stints with PSG and Sevilla, Ramos, a free agent since July, will also receive 2% from the sales of his 93 shirts, extending his tribute to Real Madrid. The club praised this decision, calling it a reminder of a historic moment in their history.
Ramos, clearly, is above those regulations - much to the delight of his former employers. Real Madrid's official Instagram account called the gesture: "A tribute to Madridismo, a reminder of a moment that changed our history."
After spending last season back at his boyhood club Sevilla, the 38-year-old has been a free agent since July and has been linked with various moves.
Once Ramos' move to Monterrey was confirmed, it was quickly revealed that he would wear number 93 - despite regulations in the Mexican top flight.
Ramos will have a vested interest in how many supporters will be wearing his unique 93 shirt, as he is entitled to 2% of funds raised from the sales.
