Latest news from Tigres: Is Sebastián Córdova leaving?, the issue with Idrissi and more

The month of May is about to end, and although Tigers It hasn’t started its preseason yet, stovetop football doesn’t forgive. Media and fans begin to throw names left and right, both of possible players who would join the Auriazules team, and of others who could put an end to their relationship with the institution.

Among the most famous names is that of the offensive midfielder Sebastián Córdova, yet he was fundamental in the last championship of the Tigres UANL team, in May 2023. Because he was a reference in the playoffs, in the quarterfinals, in the semifinals and also in the final for the national championship, but since then his level has dropped considerably, so it would not be unreasonable to think about a possible exit.

Among the teams that would supposedly be interested in acquiring the services of Sebastián Córdova, the name of an old love for the player stands out: the Águilas del América. Team in which he was formed and with whom he lived great moments. The Maquina Celeste of the Cruz Azul and the Chivas Rayadas of Guadalajara also sound like possible destinations.

The Auriazul squad cannot afford to give players to other teams without first thinking about their needs. For this reason, even before the Clausura 2024 tournament ended, national media began to talk about the possibility of the Moroccan dressing as a tiger next semester.

And, given the imminent departure of the Colombian Luis Quiñones, the board would already be thinking about his replacement, with the Tuzo footballer being a quite interesting option. The problem? That Pachuca would be asking for close to fifteen million dollars for the player. Tigres could pay for it, but it is not an easy decision to make.

Another player who sounds like a possible signing for the Tigres UANL is Santos Laguna goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo. It must be remembered that Nahuel Guzmán will miss the first six days of the Apertura 2024 tournament, so the coaching staff could take advantage of this time to work with the generational replacement of ‘Patón’ Guzmán.

The drawback in this issue is that Carlos Acevedo is the undisputed starter and appears in the Laguna region, therefore, it seems difficult for him to decide to sign for Tigres, knowing that in Nuevo León, at least initially, he would be Guzmán’s substitute.
