With more than 100 matches played for La Pandilla, Canales became one of the team’s most decisive players and one of the most important in Liga MX. 

Since his arrival in 2023, he was key in the Concacaf Champions Cup, the Leagues Cup, the Club World Cup, and the domestic tournament.

Titles never came during his time at the Mexican club, but Canales became a leader on and off the field, serving as captain in multiple matches.

Always giving everything on the pitch, Canales said goodbye to Rayados and headed to the club where he began his career as a footballer, Racing de Santander.

Sergio arrives with the “new hope” of guiding the green-and-whites, newly promoted to LALIGA, to a year of strong results, showing that there is still plenty of magic in his boots.
