Cruz Azul secure Amaury García with new contract until 2030

The 24-year-old midfielder, key following Erik Lira's departure, has signed a new deal tying him to La Máquina for four more years, solidifying his role in the club's project.

Amaury García has renewed his contract with Cruz Azul, committing his future to the sky-blue club until June 2030. The official announcement was made on Friday through the team's social media channels, which celebrated the news with a message for the player. "Let's go for more together, Amaury!" the institution posted.

The 24-year-old midfielder arrived at La Máquina as a free agent after his time with Pumas during the 2024 Apertura. Since then, he has gradually earned his place in the squad, a process that accelerated notably this season. With Erik Lira absent due to his call-up to the Mexican national team, García became an important piece for the manager, seizing his opportunity in the centre of the park.

Performance in the Apertura 2026

In the current tournament, Amaury García has made seven appearances and played 259 minutes, receiving just one yellow card. His most notable performance came precisely when the team needed him most, showing solidity and commitment. The player has averaged 37 minutes per match this campaign, establishing himself as a trusted option. In total, the player has accumulated 326 minutes wearing the sky-blue shirt, a figure destined to grow substantially with this long-term renewal.

The contract extension arrives at a key moment for Cruz Azul, who sit fourth in Liga MX with 15 points after nine matchdays, built on a positive run of three wins in their last four games. The team seeks stability in its midfield to face the decisive stretch of the championship, where they trail leaders Toluca by four points.

La Máquina's next fixture is, precisely, a high-voltage clash against Toluca this Saturday at home. A victory would allow the sky-blues to close the gap at the top. Ahead of that match, the coaching staff has the full squad list available for planning. García's renewal provides certainty for that and future challenges, securing a young profile with potential in a key position. Forward J. Márquez, with three goals in nine appearances, is the team's top scorer this season.
