Juan Escobar, the defender for Cruz Azul, is looking to make a move in the transfer market during the Clausura 2024 season. Despite spending a considerable amount of time with the club, Escobar’s recent altercation with Martín Anselmi has prompted him to seek a new challenge elsewhere. This desire has attracted interest from other teams, and one of the main rivals of Cruz Azul, Pumas, has shown keen interest in securing his services.
After a disappointing performance by Cruz Azul in the first game of the Closing Tournament 2024, where they lost 1-0 to Pachuca, Escobar’s absence was felt by the team. This, coupled with the altercation with Anselmi, has led to a decision to look for a new club. Pumas, recognizing the opportunity, is now considering the possibility of signing Escobar before the transfer period closes.
Luis Raúl González, president of Pumas, has indicated that the club is open to the idea of bringing Juan Escobar on board. “As long as the registrations are not closed, the doors for the 18 teams are always moving; There are always windows,” expressed González in statements published by Fox Sports.
The interest in Escobar’s departure from Cruz Azul has also garnered attention from the fans, with some expressing the need for a relief and showing support for his potential departure. As the transfer market remains open, the possibility of Escobar being the newest addition to Pumas is gaining traction. The defender is now weighing his options, with the potential of a new challenge awaiting him in the Liga MX.
