The future of Rogelio Funes Mori with Rayados de Monterrey is at stake, as his contract expires in June of next year. However, there is a possibility that could pave the way for his renewal: the proposal that foreigners with Mexican citizenship do not occupy a foreign player spot in the Liga MX.
Funes Mori, the all-time leading goal scorer of Rayados, has been the subject of debate among fans, with some expressing their desire for the Argentine-Mexican to leave the club. Despite this, Monterrey's management is seriously considering extending his contract.
Journalist Willie González, in RG La Deportiva, has revealed that there is a "high probability" that Rayados will renew Funes Mori's contract, and this is due to a proposal under discussion among the presidents of Liga MX. According to this proposal, players with Mexican citizenship, regardless of their foreign origin, could play as Mexicans in the league, freeing up a foreign player spot on the team.

If this proposal is approved, Rayados would have no problem in keeping Funes Mori as part of their squad. The Argentine forward joined the team in 2015 and, over time, surpassed Humberto Suazo's goal record, becoming a reference in the club's history.
The future of Rogelio Funes Mori with Rayados seems to depend largely on a possible modification to the foreign player rules in Liga MX. If this proposal becomes a reality, Funes Mori could secure a place in the team and continue his legacy as Rayados' all-time leading goal scorer.
