Brian Gutiérrez started on the bench for Chivas against Xolos de Tijuana, reigniting rumors about his potential exit from the club. The situation intensifies after reports of tensions with coach Gabriel Milito, which could affect his future at the club. The rojiblanco management has reportedly set a price of nearly $9 million for his transfer.
Gutiérrez loses playing time under Milito's guidance
The decision to leave Gutiérrez on the bench gained relevance after the team's poor performance against Xolos, where Chivas conceded a 4-0 lead. Despite his substitute appearance in the second half, his impact was limited, reflecting his reduced minutes and secondary role in the tactical setup. This situation once again raises questions about his place in the squad and his relationship with the coaching staff.
Foreign interest and $9 million offer
While his future at the club is under review, reports indicate interest from the New York Red Bulls in MLS and a top-tier Ligue 1 French club. However, Chivas' management is not eager to part with the player easily, having set a valuation of $9 million. This figure becomes the starting point for any club seeking to acquire Gutiérrez during the transfer window.
Two paths for the midfielder's future
Chivas faces the decision to keep Gutiérrez or capitalize on a significant offer to generate revenue. The bench appearance in the match against Xolos keeps both options open, while his relationship with Milito and the arrival of a financially viable proposal will determine his next move. Gutiérrez's situation remains crucial for the club's future.
