He arrived from Chivas to Cruz Azul and due to poor performance, they already would have his replacement

Alejandro Mayorga joined Cruz Azul from Chivas for the Clausura 2022. The defender was part of the negotiation between Lá Maquina and the Rebaño, where Roberto Alvarado joined the Rojiblancos, and Uriel Antuna, along with Mayorga, arrived at La Noria. However, unlike Antuna, who will become a Cruz Azul player, the also former Pumas UNAM player will not, as he came on loan with an option to buy, but due to his poor performance, it is likely that the player will return to Chivas at the end of the Apertura 2022.

Jurado will renew with Cruz Azul and Gudiño returns, is it the end of Corona at La Maquina?

Despite the fact that the player will stay for one more tournament, Cruz Azul's board of directors is looking for a player to play in the same position, since Adrián Aldrete will also leave La Máquina. Alejandro Mayorga was the natural replacement for the left-back, but his performances have not convinced the Cementeros, so they will look for another player to fill that position.

Taking into account that Cruz Azul is already eliminated from the Clausura 2022, the board of directors has begun to plan for the next tournament, and there may be many changes, such as the departure of Reynoso, and other players who are no longer in the Celestes' plans. Among them are Rómulo Otero, Adrián Aldrete, Joaquín Martínez and Luis Ángel Mendoza. And along the same lines, the replacement for Mayorga and Aldrete would be a Monterrey player.

Who would arrive at Cruz Azul?

La Máquina requires a left-back in light of the very possible loss of Adrián Aldrete, whose contract expires on June 30, and for now, there is no indication from both parties that a renewal will be negotiated, which would mean that Aldrete would leave Cruz Azul as a free player this summer. In addition, Mayorga, who could play there, is not convincing.

After last winter's market in which Cruz Azul and Monterrey cooked up one of the most talked-about trades of Carlos Rodríguez for Luis Romo, both clubs are working on another exchange of players, this time through a triangulation.

According to ESPN, the negotiation could be a three-way deal, since Al-Nassr owes Cruz Azul some US$3 million for the sale of striker Jonathan Rodríguez, who is unhappy with the few minutes he has had this semester with his Saudi Arabian club and is looking for a destination where he can play more and earn a call-up by Uruguay's national team coach, Diego Alonso, for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

In this operation to bring back "Cabecita" Rodríguez, Monterrey could send Jesús Gallardo plus money to Cruz Azul, since the left-back has been gradually losing minutes in recent tournaments with Rayados and is also looking to have a good Apertura 2022 to earn a call from DT Gerardo Martino for the next World Cup with the Mexican National Team.
