Beyond the fact that the tenth title of Liga MX has been achieved, changes are expected in the squad this summer. The capital team will move to close high-profile signings, but also opens the door to the departure of players whose cycle appears to be closed. While it is true that Joel Huiqui has made it clear that the primary goal is to maintain the base of the squad, dismissals are not ruled out as long as replacements of the same or even higher level arrive. One of the names that could be living its final hours in the club is that of Gonzalo Piovi. Iker Carrera reports that the defender has a market both in Argentina and back in the MLS. While there are no formal offers today, nor on the table of Cruz Azul, nor on that of Piovi, it is understood that more than one team from both destinations mentioned could attack formally in the coming days. The source adds that there has already been contact between Cruz Azul and Gonzalo to discuss the matter. Both the club and the player have the door open to the transfer as long as the figures of the applicants represent a gain for both parties. It is worth remembering that not long ago Gonzalo was on the verge of leaving for Inter Miami. That move was halted due to the payment terms offered by the MLS team to Cruz Azul, which extended until a final deadline of five years. Although Piovi is not necessarily a veteran in the final stages of his career, it can be considered that his cycle in the club is coming to an end. The club will seek to replace him with a player of similar level or even higher, to maintain competitiveness in Liga MX.
