Chivas de Guadalajara is going through a moment of institutional and sports crisis. The rojiblanco team failed miserably in the Grita México 2021 tournament and, after a mediocre performance in the regular tournament, they were eliminated by Puebla, one of the most modest squads in Liga MX, in the playoffs. The rojiblancos are already thinking about the Clausura 2022 and will seek to rearm themselves to have a good performance next semester.
Despite the fact that some footballers such as Rodolfo Pizarro, Carlos Vela or Javier Hernández could be available in the market, it seems a long time ago that Chiverío could repatriate any of these elements due to the cost of their file. In this context, the management’s efforts would be focused on bringing in a younger center forward with greater projection. Two are the names that sound the loudest to get to Guadalajara.
Santiago Giménez, forward for Cruz Azul, and Eduardo Aguirre, from Santos Laguna, are the two elements that most like in Verde Valle. According to the most recent reports, the operation for the ‘Mudo’ is more advanced and he would be the number one candidate to reach the Flock. What hinders this option is that Chivas would like to exchange Cristian ‘Chicote’ Calderón for Aguirre, a situation that the Warriors are not willing to accept.
In the case of ‘Chaquito’ Giménez, things are more complicated. The forward of the Celeste Machine is an important player for his club and could become the starting attacker in the event of the exits of Jonathan Rodríguez and Bryan Angulo. At the end of October, the 20-year-old forward said that he has never considered playing for Chivas and that his plan is to consolidate in Cruz Azul and then play in Europe.
After considering these factors, it seems that the most viable option for Guadalajara is Eduardo Aguirre, but that they will have to offer a good amount of money for Santos to allow his departure.
