Cruz Azul is active in the Liga MX transfer market, and has expressed interest in a South American forward. The player, Alex Arce, plays for Independiente Rivadavia in Argentina, and his representative, Miguel Gareppe, has confirmed that several Mexican clubs, including Cruz Azul, have shown interest in him.

According to Gareppe, no formal offer was made for the player, who is happy in his current club and is not willing to leave. Instead, the representative is negotiating a contract renewal with the club.

In a statement to Radio Monumental, Gareppe said: "There was an inquiry from several Mexican clubs, including Cruz Azul, but we did not advance formally with any of them".

At the moment, Cruz Azul is in 12th position in the Liga MX with 6 points, 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses in 5 games. The last loss was against Atlas with a score of 0-2. In the next round, the team will face Necaxa in a away game.

What does this mean for the summer budget?

The lack of a formal offer by Cruz Azul for Alex Arce may be an indication that the club is not willing to commit to a significant transfer in the summer market. This could affect the team's ability to improve its performance in the second half of the season.

Where does Alex Arce fit in currently?

Although no formal offer was made for the player, it is possible that Alex Arce may still be an option for Cruz Azul in the future. However, the lack of a formal offer at the moment may be an obstacle to his incorporation into the team.

What's next for Cruz Azul?

The next round, Cruz Azul will face Necaxa in an away game. The team will have the opportunity to reverse its negative streak and seek a win that will allow them to advance in the standings.
