Andrés Gudiño, Sebastián Jurado, Juan Escobar, Ignacio Rivero and Alexis Gutiérrez are the only “survivors” of the title of Blue Cross in Guardianes 2021. Since then, and after several tournaments played, the squad has been dismantled in such a way that only a few memories remain of that team in memory.

With Joaquin Moreno on a tightrope, and a group of footballers who have not been up to par, plus other elements who will return from their respective loans after not finding a place in the team, Cruz Azul will experience another very busy transfer market where an attempt will be made to improve what was done in the last sale, where hiring took longer than expected and the managers have been criticized.

Players who will return from their respective assignments

But we will also have to consider those elements that will return from their assignments. Ramiro Carrera and Augusto Lotti are the two main cases. Both with long contracts, and with two of the highest salaries on the team, their returns will also depend on the tenant of the bench and their intentions to take advantage of them. The club still trusts them, but the performance of both, both in Lanús and Atlético Tucumán, respectively, is leaving much to be desired at this point in the season.
