Rayados Target Blockbuster Duo: Ramos Secured, Benzema in Sight

Rayados are raising the stakes. After officially signing Sergio Ramos, Monterrey’s management has set its sights on another Real Madrid legend: Karim Benzema. The move, aimed at boosting the squad ahead of the Club World Cup, could reunite one of football’s most iconic duos.

Benzema, now 37, is under contract in Saudi Arabia, reportedly earning close to €200 million per year. While the financial challenge is substantial, Rayados are hoping that their sporting vision—and a personal nudge from Ramos—can tip the balance. The two players shared a decade of chemistry at Madrid, and that bond is now part of Monterrey’s recruitment strategy.

This isn’t just about football. For Monterrey, landing Benzema would signal a shift in the club’s international profile. The BBVA Stadium could soon host one of the most decorated attacking partnerships in modern football, elevating both visibility and expectations.

Still, the deal is far from done. Saudi clubs remain financial juggernauts, and the final decision will hinge on Benzema’s willingness to embark on a new challenge. If it happens, a Ramos–Benzema reunion in Liga MX could become one of the defining stories of 2025.
