César Jasib Montes Castro (born 24 February 1997) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Russian Premier League club Lokomotiv Moscow and the Mexico national team.
Montes was called up by the senior national team to participate in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. He would make his debut on 13 July 2017 during a group stage match against Jamaica, coming in as a substitute for Rodolfo Pizarro at half-time, finishing the game at 0–0.
On 6 June 2019, Montes was called up by coach Gerardo Martino to participate in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He appeared as a substitute in the group stage match against Cuba and as a starter in the final group stage match against Martinique as Mexico went on to win the tournament.
In October 2022, Montes was named in Mexico's preliminary 31-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and in November, he was ultimately included in the final 26-man roster.
Montes was included in Diego Cocca's roster for the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals. During the semi-final match against the United States, Montes was sent off in the 69th minute after getting in a physical altercation with Weston McKennie, who was also sent off in the 71st minute after a VAR check. Montes was given a four-match suspension by CONCACAF, which included the third place match against Panama and the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage.
Montes was included in the subsequent 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Mexico won the tournament after defeating Panama.
Montes was part of the roster that participated at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, scoring three times, once in Mexico's 3–2 victory over the Dominican Republic and both goals in the 2–0 win over Suriname. Mexico won the competition defeating rivals the United States 2–1 in the final. He was subsequently included in the competition's Best XI.
His younger brother, Alan, is also a professional footballer, playing for Liga MX club Necaxa.
