In the last hours a rumor emerged that suggested that Chivas de Guadalajara would be interested in signing Sebastián Córdova, a Club América player. This information raised more than one eyebrow because both clubs have a fierce rivalry and that the operation, according to reports, would include Uriel Antuna and money. This move would not be beneficial to either player.
Sebastián Córdova is one of the most interesting promises in Mexican soccer, despite the fact that his last tournament was disappointing. The ’10’ of America had a great participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and his name was related to different European clubs during the summer. Uriel Antuna has not been able to consolidate with Chiverío, but he is a regular with the Mexican National Team and also played the Olympic tournament with a good performance.
Córdova and Antuna are two young players who have their sights set on the Old Continent. If this sui generis swap were to materialize, both players would see their chances of emigrating to European football frustrated. In the hypothetical case that Sebastián Córdova reached the ranks of the Sacred Herd, he would practically be giving up his dream.
Uriel Antuna finds himself in a similar situation. Despite the fact that his performance has not been as expected by the rojiblanca board, the winger is still very young and has a great margin for growth. ‘El Brujo’ already has European experience, since he was part of Manchester City, a team that loaned him to Groningen in the Dutch league.
In an interview in April, Uriel Antuna left open the possibility of playing for Club América in the future. This exchange, which so far seems highly unlikely, would have a negative impact on the careers of both players, as their progression would be frustrated and they would virtually lose any chance of going to play in Europe.
