Cruz Azul has taken the lead in the race for Argentine midfielder Juan Brunetta, who currently plays for Tigres. According to journalist Nahuel Ferreira, the club has made the first formal offer for the player, becoming the most advanced team in negotiations. So far, River Plate has not made an official proposal, placing La Máquina in a favorable position. However, competition is heating up as River Plate is closely monitoring the situation and looking for a way to enter the fight for Brunetta. Additionally, a club from the Netherlands has also shown interest, although its name has not been revealed. This situation adds a new level of complexity to the operation. Despite the competition, Cruz Azul remains the first to act and demonstrate its interest in signing the player. Brunetta's release clause is approximately 25 million dollars, a figure that both Cruz Azul and River Plate consider high. Therefore, the clubs are looking to negotiate directly with Tigres to reach a more accessible agreement. Tigres' decision will be crucial for the outcome of this story, which promises to be one of the most exciting of the summer transfer market.
