Mexico.- tigers He has started the week of his return to activity with many surprises, only this Saturday two elements made moves in the team, with the arrival of Eduardo Tercero and the departure of Aldo Cruz. Now Miguel Herrera’s team would be hours away from confirming the second casualty for the 2022 Opening and it would be John Joseph Purata who would be being loaned to an MLS team to get more minutes.
According to TUDN reporters, Daniel Nohra and Vladimir García, the Mexican defender was one of the elements that did not travel with Tigres to Playa del Carmen to do preseason, this because the board would be arranging his transfer. According to sources, the move would be a loan to the Atlanta United with a purchase option in case he convinces Gonzalo Pineda, DT of the team of the MLS.
They even assure that their departure could be made official this Sunday, hours after the team arrives in Playa del Carmen where they will continue with their preseason for the following week. Tigres has carved out a space for itself in the defensive zone in recent tournaments and it’s that only defenders have left the team since they don’t have many minutes or aren’t taken into account by the coach.
In the case of Purata, he is a Tigres youth squad player and has been with the team since the U-15 pros and has had few opportunities. His debut in the Liga MX came in the 2018 Apertura, after that he has spent it in the U-20 and with very few minutes in the first team. Unfortunately for him, he had Ricardo Ferretti’s decade in which he played very little but he was part of the winning teams.

His possible last Liga MX championship with Tigres only played 4 games, 3 as a starter with just 235 minutes. Miguel Herrera brought in another player in defense to make up for the absence of Carlos Salcedo, even with the injuries and suspensions he was not one of the first options, so his departure could be the best step to continue in his career.
