After their failure in 2021, Tigres are already planning their squad for next season. The UANL team is clear that it needs to incorporate new elements into its club and also get rid of those footballers who are not contributing what is expected of them. This is the case of defender Francisco Meza, who is the felines’ first official casualty. The Colombian defender will leave the club after six years in it, said Mauricio Culebro, president of the team.
The Tigres manager indicated that ‘Pancho’ Meza’s contract came to an end and that the player also planned to leave the institution. The defender was not active in the Grita México 2021 tournament due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Meza, 30, played more than 90 minutes with this squad, scored four goals and gave two assists.
The Colombian defender had ups and downs with Tigres, but will always be remembered by feline fans for his goal against Monterrey in the 2017 Apertura final of Liga MX. Meza’s goal ended up representing the triumph for the UANL team in the intense royal final. With the Sultana del Norte team he won three league titles, a Concacaf Champions League and a runner-up in the Club World Cup.
The Colombian defender could join another Liga MX team for the following season. Previously, he had a brief stint at Pumas de la UNAM. His letter is currently valued at $ 2.2 million.
