Chivas and Cruz Azul reject Chucky Lozano Guadalajara Chivas and Cruz Azul have closed their doors to Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano, according to reports from TUDN. The Mexican forward, 30, was seeking a return to Liga MX after leaving San Diego FC, but the two biggest clubs in the country decided not to pursue his signing. Chivas was not fully convinced by the deal, while Cruz Azul prioritized locker-room stability and its long-term project over a high-profile, high-salary signing. ## Why did they reject Lozano? Despite Chucky Lozano being a Mexican football icon with successful stints at PSV Eindhoven and Napoli, his high salary and recent dip in form complicated his return. At 30, the forward is at a crossroads in his career, needing to find a team where he can regain his best form. Guadalajara Chivas, currently 18th in Liga MX with 0 points (0-0-1) and a 0-2 loss to Toluca, is looking to strengthen its squad but not with players who don’t fit its project. The team prepares for its next match against FC Juárez (16th in the table) on July 25. ## What’s next for Chucky? With two major doors closed in Liga MX, Lozano must explore other options. His future remains uncertain, but he needs a project where he can regain rhythm, confidence, and protagonism. Time is running out, and his next move will define the next chapter of his career. ## A complicated return Chucky Lozano’s return to Liga MX seemed ideal to reconnect with fans and reclaim his star status. However, reality is different. Guadalajara Chivas and Cruz Azul, two of Mexico’s biggest clubs, have decided not to bet on him. Now, the forward must seek new opportunities to relaunch his career.
