Mexican central defender César Montes faces a summer of uncertainty after a challenging season with Almería, which culminated in the team’s relegation. Despite this, Montes is focused on the Copa América, seeking to represent Mexico and demonstrate his commitment to the Andalusian club.
With a contract until 2028 and being Almería’s most expensive acquisition at 14 million euros, Montes hopes to contribute to the team’s future. However, the club’s financial situation and its high salary present a dilemma for the board, which could consider selling it to balance finances, according to Spanish newspaper Diario de Almería.
Without revealing the identity of the team, Diario de Almería reported that a Russian club has already contacted the Almería sports management to inquire about the contractual situation of César Montes. This possible transfer underlines the international interest that the Mexican defender has generated, who continues to be an attractive figure for teams outside of Spain.
It should be remembered that Montes had already been observed during his time with Espanyol de Barcelona, although his high cost prevented a transfer at that time. The Mexican National Team continues to be an important showcase for Montes, who takes advantage of these opportunities to show his talent and potential at an international level.
César Montes is one of the best current defenders in Mexico, but in Almería he did not have the expected minutes. He participated in 22 games in all competitions, accumulating a total of 1,799 minutes, which is equivalent to almost 20 complete games in the entire season. Despite his presence on the field, he failed to score or assist, and received 5 yellow cards.
Currently, the value of César Montes is estimated at 14 million euros, despite the limitations on his playing time and direct contributions to the team, Montes remains a player of great quality and potential, recognized both in Mexico and in the international arena.
