The French forward Anthony Martial was announced this Friday as a new addition to Monterrey, the Mexican club led by Spanish defender Sergio Ramos.

"Anthony Martial joins the Rayados del Monterrey permanently with a contract until 2027, with an option for another year," the club announced in a statement published on its website.

"Anthony will be the first French player in the club's history," emphasized Monterrey. The 'Rayados' highlighted Martial's "speed, individual technique, and versatility as a forward," at 29 years old, who arrived from AEK Athens, Greece.

In his new club, Martial will reunite with three players who were his teammates at Sevilla during the 2021-2022 season: Spanish midfielder Oliver Torres, Argentine forward Lucas Ocampos, and Mexican winger Jesús Corona.

Additionally, the Frenchman, who hasn't played for the 'Bleus' since 2021, will share the locker room with two Spanish stars: Sergio Ramos and midfielder Sergio Canales.

Mexico will be the fifth country in Martial's career, who was once considered one of France's greatest talents. He has played in his home country (Lyon and Monaco), England (Manchester United), Spain (Sevilla), and most recently, Greece (AEK Athens).

Martial debuted for the French national team in 2015 and played 30 matches, scoring two goals. He won the UEFA Nations League in 2021 and reached the final of Euro 2016, which was lost to Portugal.

Monterrey, led by Spanish coach Domènec Torrent, currently tops the Apertura-2025, with 18 points in seven matches. Founded in 1945, the team has won the Mexican league five times: Mexico-1986, Clausura-2003, Apertura-2009, Apertura-2010, and Apertura-2019.
