Chivas Bolsters Roster with Experienced Midfielder luis Romo
Guadalajara’s Chivas have made a significant move in the Liga MX transfer market, officially announcing the signing of experienced midfielder luis Romo from Cruz Azul. The 29-year-old, who boasts a wealth of experience in the Mexican top flight, is expected to be a key player in Óscar García Junyent’s new-look Chivas side.
Romo’s arrival marks his fourth stint with a Liga MX club. After honing his skills in Querétaro’s youth academy, he made a name for himself with the first team before joining Cruz Azul in 2020. A two-year spell with Monterrey followed, before he returned to la Maquina.
The deal for Romo was part of a complex exchange involving young Chivas prospect Jesús Orozco Chiquete. According to ESPN sources, Cruz Azul secured Orozco Chiquete’s services in exchange for Romo and a financial sum, a move that surprised many given Romo’s standing within Chivas’ plans.Romo joins Miguel Tapias as Chivas’ second major signing for the Clausura 2025 campaign. The club is also on the verge of completing the return of striker Alan Pulido from Major League Soccer,further bolstering their attacking options.
Chivas kick off their Clausura 2025 campaign against Santos on November 11th, and Romo is expected to be available for selection, adding valuable experience and midfield solidity to the team.

Moderator: Let’s get right into it. Chivas just announced Luis Romo’s arrival from Cruz Azul. This is a big move, a seasoned player like Romo joining a team already abuzz with excitement about Óscar García Junyent’s vision. What are your initial thoughts on this signing?
Bofo: Well, it’s a smart move by Chivas, ther’s no doubt whatsoever. Romo brings a wealth of experience – he’s played for Querétaro, Cruz Azul, Monterrey – he knows the league inside and out. He’s a steady hand in midfield, can control the tempo, and doesn’t shy away from a challenge.This is exactly the kind of player Chivas need to add grit and leadership to their young team.
Moderator: Absolutely. Now, this transfer wasn’t a straightforward one. It involved a swap deal with young prospect Jesús Orozco Chiquete going the other way.Some fans have voiced their concerns about losing Chiquete. Do you see this as a gamble by Chivas?
Bofo: I understand the fans’ concerns. Chiquete is a talented young player,no question. But sometimes, you have to make tough decisions to build a competitive team. Romo brings immediate quality and leadership, something a young player like Chiquete still needs to develop. In the long run, Romo could be the missing piece Chivas need to challenge for the title.
moderator: I agree, experience is often overlooked. Looking at Orozco Chiquete though, do you believe he has the potential to be a star?
Bofo: Absolutely. He’s got all the tools: pace, dribbling skills, and a knack for scoring goals. Cruz Azul have a great track record of developing young talent, so I’m confident he’ll flourish there.It’ll be captivating to see how this deal unfolds in the long run.
Moderator: One thing is for sure, this sets the stage for an exciting Clausura 2025! Romo is expected to be available for Chivas’ opening game against Santos on November 11th.
Moderator: What kind of impact do you expect Romo to have on the team?
Bofo: I expect him to be a stabilizing force. He’ll allow players like Miguel Tapias and hopefully Alan Pulido, who is also rumored to be returning, to flourish. Romo can dictate the tempo, break up opposition attacks, and launch Chivas forward. He’s the type of player who can elevate everyone around him.
Moderator: Now,fans are already buzzing about the possibilities of this Chivas team. Where do you see them finishing in the Clausura 2025?
Bofo: With Romo in the midfield,and Pulido possibly leading the line,they have a solid core. If they can gel quickly, they definitely have the potential for a top-four finish. If everything clicks – and that’s a big ’if’ – they could even be contenders for the title.
Moderator: There you have it folks! Some insightful analysis from the man who wore the Chivas jersey with pride. Thanks for your time, Bofo!
