10. Ivan Piris
One of the players who went unnoticed with the emeralds was Ivan Piris. The right-back signed with the Bajío team in 2017 from Rayados de Monterrey.
It was expected that with the long-haired he would take the last step that he lacked with the royals, however, the story was similar and could never be consolidated. He played only 21 games and scored two goals.
9. Ignacio Canuto
With the departure of Rafael Márquez in 2015 to Italian soccer, the high command of the Leonese club found themselves in a hurry and with the need to hire an experienced defender who could replace the sensitive loss of the ‘Kaiser’.

8. Jonathan Bottinelli
One of the worst defenders that the Panzas Verdes team has had is Jonathan Bottinelli. The Argentine stronghold came to Mexican soccer in 2014 from the Catholic University of Chile.

6. Emanuel Cecchini
What a case the midfielder Emanuel Cecchini. In 2018 La Fiera decided to bet on his services and came as a loan from Banfield in his country and after an ephemeral stay in Spain with Malaga.
His future was seen due to his stay in the Spanish league, although nothing happened and he could only play 3 games.

3. Marcos Caicedo
The extreme Marcos Caicedo He signed with León in 2014 from Emelec of Ecuador. Good things were said about him, however, his performance at the club was not what was expected.

2. Yovanny Arrechea
The front Yovanny Arrechea he became a resounding failure with the Panzas Verdes del León team.
In 2013, those with long pants from Bajío opted for their services without imagining that it would be one of the worst contracts in history.
