Sergio Canales Madrazo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈseɾxjo kaˈnales maˈðɾaθo]; born 16 February 1991) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Liga MX club Monterrey.
After starting out at Racing de Santander, he signed as a 19-year-old with Real Madrid for €4.5 million, but failed to reproduce his form at the latter club and left after only one season. He went on to represent, always in La Liga, Valencia, Real Sociedad and Betis, totalling 384 games and 49 goals across 15 seasons and winning the Copa del Rey once with Real Madrid and Betis.
Canales earned 39 caps for Spain at youth level, winning the 2013 European Championship with the under-21 team. He made his debut for the senior squad in 2019.
