Chivas poised to Land Efraín Álvarez as Club América Shifts Focus
The race for talented midfielder Liga MX“>Efraín Álvarez is heating up, with Guadalajara’s Chivas emerging as the frontrunner. According to reports from W Deportes journalist Iván Elizondo, Álvarez, formerly of LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer, has long dreamed of playing for Chivas, a desire shared by his father. This ambition could give Chivas a significant advantage over rivals Club América in securing the player’s signature.
Álvarez’s potential arrival at Chivas would be a major coup for the club, bolstering their midfield with a young, dynamic talent. The move would also represent a blow to Club América, who have reportedly been pursuing Álvarez as well. Elizondo suggests that América may be withdrawing their interest due to Álvarez’s preference for Chivas and the influence of his representative, who also manages Chivas striker Alan Pulido.
Adding to the intrigue,América’s pursuit of reinforcements for the 2025 Clausura Tournament appears to be on hold. The club’s board seems content with their current squad, which many consider to be the strongest in Mexican soccer. Furthermore, any potential signings of players not trained in Mexico (NFM) would require freeing up a roster spot, a move that hasn’t materialized yet. While Álvarez is the only mexican player prominently linked to América, the club’s focus may be shifting towards other targets.
The upcoming transfer window promises to be an exciting one, with Álvarez’s future destination a key storyline. Will Chivas fulfill his childhood dream,or will América find a way to sway him? Only time will tell.
