Monterrey Eyes Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez for Closing 2025
As Liga MX teams gear up for the Closing 2025 tournament, the search for top talent intensifies. One club rumored to be making a significant move is MonterreyS Rayados, who are reportedly targeting a proven goalscorer to bolster their attack.
Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez, a prolific striker with a history of success in Liga MX, has emerged as a potential target. Rodríguez, known for his clinical finishing and aerial prowess, has already tasted championship glory with three different Mexican clubs: Santos laguna, Cruz Azul, and Club América.
After securing the title with américa, Rodríguez opted for a new challenge in Major League Soccer, joining the portland Timbers. However, recent reports suggest that his time in the United States could be coming to an end, with a return to Liga MX on the horizon.
Monterrey’s interest in Rodríguez stems from the potential departure of Brandon Vazquez, who is rumored to be considering a return to MLS. The Rayados are seeking a reliable replacement for Vazquez, and Rodríguez’s proven track record makes him an attractive option.
Interestingly, this wouldn’t be the first time Monterrey has pursued Rodríguez. The club has previously expressed interest in the Uruguayan striker during his stints with both Cruz Azul and Club América. Could this time be the charm? Only time will tell if Rodríguez will don the iconic Rayados jersey and embark on a new chapter in his illustrious career.

Ricardo: It’s definitely possible. Both players are proven goalscorers, and they both have the quality to succeed in their respective leagues. A deal like that could work for both clubs, but it all depends on the financial details and the players’ desires.
Moderator: Monterrey’s interest in Rodriguez isn’t new. They were reportedly interested in him during his time with both Cruz Azul and América. What do you think has changed this time around?

Moderator: That’s a great point. Now, some might argue that Rodriguez’s time in MLS might have softened him, making him less suited for the physicality of Liga MX. What are your thoughts on that?
Ricardo: MLS is a physically demanding league, and Rodriguez has definitely held his own there. He’s a strong, bright player who adapts well to different styles. I don’t think Liga MX would be a shock to his system.
