Sergio Ramos’ Move to Monterrey: A Fresh Challenge Without His Wife by His Side

Sergio Ramos’ unexpected move to Monterrey has sparked excitement among football fans in Mexico, but it comes with a personal twist—his wife, Pilar Rubio, has decided not to join him.

The Spanish legend, 38, has signed a one-year contract with the Liga MX side after spending six months without a club. His last competitive appearance came in May 2024 when he played the full 90 minutes for Sevilla in their 2-1 defeat to Barcelona. Now, he is set to wear the No. 93 jersey at Monterrey, paying homage to his unforgettable last-minute equalizer for Real Madrid against Atletico Madrid in the 2014 Champions League final.

Pilar Rubio’s Decision: Career Over Constant Relocation

While Ramos embarks on a new adventure in Mexico, his wife, Spanish television presenter Pilar Rubio, has opted to remain in Spain. According to Bild journalist Javi de Hoyos, Rubio’s decision was primarily driven by professional commitments.

“Pilar Rubio will not move to Mexico with Sergio Ramos. Last Friday, someone close to Pilar told me that she was tired of moving,” de Hoyos revealed. “She went to Paris with him, then Ramos went to Seville. Later, she decided to go to Madrid for professional reasons. She really likes living there.”

What This Means for Ramos’ New Chapter

Ramos has built his career on resilience and leadership, and playing in a new league without his family close by will be another test of his adaptability. Monterrey fans will be hoping his experience and winning mentality can elevate the team, while Ramos will have to adjust both on and off the pitch.

Could this be his final chapter before retirement, or will his time in Liga MX spark a late-career resurgence? Either way, Ramos’ presence in Mexican football is bound to generate excitement.
