For Amaury Vergara, owner of the Chivas de Guadalajara, these were very complicated months where he had to make costly decisions that left the team and the board in a bad position not only in economic matters, but also in terms of credibility and the execution of order inside the locker room that was surprised since coach Veljko Paunović left.

Somehow the Sacred Flock continues to pay dearly for the consequences of what which generated the serious violation of the internal regulations committed by Alexis Vega and Cristian Calderón, who left the team through the back door, but leaving important financial losses that Jorge Vergara’s son will no longer be able to recover, at least for the moment.

The departure of Chicote Calderón meant stopping earning some of the approximately nine million dollars that they invested in the left back, who arrived at Chivas in 2019 for almost eight million and who was one of the who earned the best in the squad, but he left for free since last Tuesday to Necaxa.

For his part, Alexis Vega will also leave the rojiblancos for Cruz Azul, apparently, which is the dream of the attacker, who since he was a child did not hide his love for cement colors. but the transaction would be for 3.5 million dollars, very far from what they paid for him in 2018 to Toluca which was for almost six million, although years later the investment was multiplied by at least three. Although Toluca could well be the artilleryman’s new destination, the idea is for him to leave La Perla Tapatia.

Despite all these monetary blows that Guadalajara suffered, Amaury Vergara will be able to get rid of two of the most problematic footballers that the team has had in recent years, because since the indiscipline in Toluca became known, The young businessman sought by all means to terminate their contract, but he would have had to pay the rest of the contracts of both Vega and Chicote.

Therefore, he preferred to wait until this transfer market and instead of continuing to shell out money for both players, He chose to get rid of them with all the loss that entails, however, his wish was fulfilled and he finally made it clear that none of them had the commitment to wear the most important shirt in Mexican soccer.

At the moment Chivas adds only one reinforcement

The arrival of central defender José Castillo from Pachuca is the first official incorporation of the Rebaño for 2024, since some of Fernando Hierro’s other candidates remained in good intentions. Both Guillermo Martínez and Fidel Ambriz seem very far from Verde Valle due to the high cost that their respective teams placed on them.
