Cruz Azul wants to prevent a possible departure of Carlos Salcedo and that is why it has already set its sights on Jesús Orozco, better known as Chiquete, the second surname of the footballer who belongs to Chivas.
According to the newspaper Record, La Maquina probes the central defender who played with the Mexican National Team in this Copa América and although Guadalajara has a high value for its youth player, it is not closed to negotiating with La Maquina, especially if the capital club includes Erik Lira in the offer . The bid will be formalized if Salcedo, who was supposed to leave Mexico for personal reasons, leaves.

The ‘celeste’ team has been greatly reinforced ahead of the Apertura 2024 that begins this week, as the signings of the Mexicans Andrés Montaño and Jorge Sánchez have already been signed up, in addition to the signing of the Greek scorer Giorgios Giakoumakis, however, they are also take for granted the arrival of Luis Romo, so the ‘cement’ team could hire four selected ‘Aztecs’ in this transfer window.
Chiquete has a market value of 6 million euros, but Cruz Azul could lower it a lot if they include Lira in the negotiation. A tremendous team that the runners-up of the Liga MX could put together.
