Facing the Closing 2022 that starts this January 6, Rayados was reinforced with two elements of Selection level such as Luis Romo and Rodolfo Pizarro.
Both players are of caliber and will contribute to the team Javier Aguirre. However, prior to this tournament, another ‘bomb’ got out of hand. And is that Jonathan dos Santos, element that will play for him America, was the object of desire that Monterrey He wanted to have in their ranks and tried to sign on at least two occasions and did not succeed.
The first time they went for Jona was in 2016, at the request of Antonio Mohamed; Although it was only a matter of small details for his arrival to take place, at the last minute Villarreal of Spain convinced him to stay.
For 2021, Monterrey insisted again, but America won the negotiation. Something similar happened with Christian Tabó, which was already nothing to be from the royal team and Blue Cross he was ahead.
Other bombs that have gone
It is not the first time that the gang suffers because the ‘bomb’ reinforcements escape him, because it is enough to remember everything that was not given to them in 2019; german first Lukas podolski It was a possibility of reinforcement, but the player had surgery; The dutch Luuk de Jong He preferred to sign with him Seville Y Giovani dos santos chose to do it for America.
Will bring Darius Benedetto to their ranks it sounded feasible, since Boca Juniors wanted Maxi Meza; however, the Olympique de Marseille and Pipa asked that if he left the xeneize club it would be to emigrate to said European team.
Thus, Monterrey turned again towards the Old Continent and pointed to Christian Stuani, from Girona, who has been among the LaLiga scorers, but finally stayed in that institution.
In Mohamed’s time, it wasn’t just the Dos Santos’ failed case. Rayados had a verbal agreement with Gabriel Mercado and also a preliminary agreement with the club, to reinforce Rayados from River plate, but at the last minute he chose to go to the Seville of Spain.
In 2013, Cristian Riveros was in the sights of DT albiazul Victor Manuel Vucetich, who confirmed the interest in the Paraguayan; everything fell when negotiating his salary, since the Guild of Brazil He offered him a better amount of salary and the Guaraní left Monterrey hanging.
Another that was Vuce’s wish was Landon donovan, who returned from his retirement in 2016 to play with León, while Monterrey always kept that dream of having him in their ranks, especially after the World Cup. South Africa 2010; The king midas He considered that the American had the Striped profile and the board looked for a way to hire him, but no negotiations were ever successful.
Cases from 20 years ago or more
Further back in history are the cases of Damián Álvarez and Cesáreo Victorino. In the case of the first, in 2002 Monterrey wanted that young figure from River Plate and they already had an agreement between clubs, but the dwarf He refused to go to Mexican soccer, stayed longer with the Millionaires and then emigrated to Italy. Finally, in 2003 he arrived in Mexico, passing through Morelia, Pachuca and Tigres, Rayados’ archrival.
In 2000, the Gang already had Cesáreo Victorino, acquired for $ 3.8 million, the most expensive transfer at that time; however, upon arrival in Monterrey, they found a spinal injury in the medical examinations; The player ended up standing out with Pachuca and even went to the Mexican National Team.
