The only viable option that Cruz Azul would have to reinforce its defense

The future of Blue Cross It looked very encouraging at the beginning of the summer, with the star signings that he managed to sign and the base consolidated by Martín Anselmithe squad was formed like a real blunderbuss.

Unfortunately for the fans of the cementero, this summer they suffered the forced loss of Carlos Salcedo And weeks later, Rafael Guerrero left, leaving them without important substitutes for Willer Ditta and Gonzálo Piovi.

Given this situation, little by little some reinforcement began to be ruled out in order to have an alternative in defense, a very necessary one because Martin Anselmi He likes to play with a third central defender advanced, a role that Salcedo occupied and that he now has. Luis Romo.

Despite this situation, a small ray of hope has appeared for those who want the sky-blue team to sign another heavyweight centre-back, one who would be a very important financial commitment, but who would arrive with the status of a starter.
