The chance to win more trophies and play at the next edition of the FIFA Club World Cup convinced Sergio Ramos to sign a one-year deal with Liga MX side Monterrey.


Ramos, who will turn 39 in March, was introduced by the club on Sunday.


"I'm not tired of winning, but I did not come here to talk about my accomplishments," Ramos said at a press conference in Monterrey, northeastern Mexico.


"I've never been here, I want to leave a legacy in Mexico, I'm not here to travel, I'm here to try to win new titles."


Commonly known as Rayados, Monterrey is one of the most economically powerful clubs in the country.

It's one of three Mexican teams that will participate in the expanded Club World Cup which is set to be played in the U.S. next summer. The other two are León and Pachuca.


As well as the domestic league, Monterrey is also competing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.


"This team [has] a huge growth margin, they are going to play local and international tournaments," Ramos said. "It's a good moment to make yourself noticed."


He added "it was an easy decision to take."


"In soccer the age does not matter, performance matters," Ramos said. "To come here after a long career shows the hunger that I have to keep on winning."


Ramos also won Euro 2012 with Spain and five Spanish league titles and four Champions League titles with Real Madrid, where he played for 16 seasons.
