While we continue to wait for a solution to the Jesús Chiquete Orozco issue, Cruz Azul already have another Mexican defender in their squad, the chosen Omar Campos.
The 22-year-old defender played 27 games for MLS’s Los Angeles FC (LAFC) last year.
Campos is already at La Noria and La Maquina is expected to make an official announcement soon, as the player must pass the usual medical tests and sign the already agreed contract.
The soccer player from the capital made his debut with Santos Laguna in Clausura 2021 and did not feature during his season in MLS, so now he will get his chance with a ‘big’ team in Liga MX.
Cruz Azul did everything right in 2024, but the title never came
This was the year for La Maquina, the eliminations ‘killed’ the points record
Clausura 2024 runners-up Cruz Azul are adding promising players to the program led by Martin Anselmi, leader of Apertura and club with the most points in the calendar year.
What other reinforcements are expected for La Maquina in the Clausura 2025 that begins next week?
Chiquet’s transfer has taken longer than expected, especially considering it has been ‘sung’ since mid-December, but according to local press, negotiations are back on track.
As for Diego Rossi, it is true that the club did not consider him, but instead offered him. The agency is studying the profile of the 26-year-old Uruguayan forward, who has scored 78 goals in MLS.
To think that the Cruz Azul has 13 points more than the US for the entire year 2024…
