Rayados de Monterrey wants to make a statement in the market by signing Karim Benzema, a move that would raise the team's level for the 2025 Club World Cup. The Monterrey directive dreams of adding the French forward, whose contract with Al Ittihad ends in the summer of 2026, following their trend of high-profile signings that began with the arrival of Sergio Ramos.

The rumor is gaining momentum, and local media sources state that the Spanish defender has allegedly had conversations with his former Real Madrid teammate to persuade him to join the Mexican team. However, the operation won't be easy, as Saudi Arabia believes Benzema will remain in the Middle Eastern league where he enjoys a lucrative contract.

Sergio Ramos' signing has sparked excitement among Rayados fans, who now dream of seeing Benzema in blue and white. Nevertheless, the Frenchman's release clause and high salary pose significant obstacles to finalizing the deal. Meanwhile, Monterrey's management is evaluating the financial feasibility of the transfer and exploring options to strengthen their squad.

The Club World Cup is the team's main goal, and having players of Ramos and Benzema's caliber would be a significant step toward the international title. Despite the challenging outlook, Rayados' intention is clear: to build a competitive squad with renowned figures and establish themselves as key players on the global stage.
