Real Madid legend Sergio Ramos has officially found a new club and has picked a bizarre jersey number.
The veteran central defender has joined Liga MX giants CF Monterrey on a free transfer.
Ramos has also decided to wear the number 93 jersey with the Mexican club, with Real Madrid confirming the number is to remember his 93rd minute equaliser in the 2014 UEFA Champions League final against Atletico Madrid.

Monterrey president Jose Antonio Noriega expressed his delight at securing the World Cup winner's signature.
"It is a source of pride for Monterrey to be able to count on a player of his calibre. We feel delighted knowing that Sergio had offers from several parts of the world," said Noriega.
"He mentioned that his period of inactivity was due to him not having found an offer that convinced him, despite having many options. Therefore, we are thrilled that our proposal and goals have inspired him to join us."The most important factor will be what he can deliver on the pitch, but we also anticipate the media impact and joy Sergio will bring to the fans."
