Cruz Azul is very close to signing the forward that they lacked so much in the Clausura 2024 of Liga MX. According to the most recent reports, the Celeste Machine would have reached an agreement with Giorgios Giakoumakis to be their new signing for the Apertura 2024 tournament.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano indicated that the celestial board reached an agreement with the Greek striker and that he only needs to negotiate the terms with Atlanta United for the contract to become a fact.
This report indicates that Cruz Azul made an offer of 10 million dollars and that both parties are negotiating and working on the final details of the signing.

The 29-year-old Greek striker was part of teams such as AEK Athens, VVV-Venlo and Celtic Glasgow. In February 2023 he joined Atlanta United, where he registers 24 goals and five assists in 42 games.
Cruz Azul urgently needs a center forward because its current squad only has Gabriel Fernández to fill this position. The ‘Toro’ suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee in the first days of Clausura 2024.
It is not known when Fernández will return to activity, so Cruz Azul must close to a nine before the Apertura 2024 starts. Everything indicates that Giakoumakis will be a new player for the Machine.
