Chivas Closes in on Luka Romero as Alavés Makes Key Decision
Chivas is actively bolstering its roster, having already secured Miguel tapias, Alan Pulido, and Luis Romo.

Alavés’ Roster Decision Fuels Chivas’ Hopes
Alavés is scheduled to face Girona on Saturday for matchday 19 of La Liga. The team’s roster for the match was announced on Friday, and a notable absence was Luka Romero. This is surprising considering Romero had been included in the squad for the previous 18 games, although he only saw action in six.This decision by Alavés’ coaching staff, led by Eduardo Coudet, has ignited optimism within Chivas. the club is eagerly awaiting the outcome of their pursuit of Romero, and his exclusion from the Girona match is a positive indicator.
evaluating the Potential Transfer
Romero’s career trajectory initially held immense promise, leading to his signing by Milan, the club that still holds his rights. However, his performance has waned, resulting in limited playing time at Alavés. in the current La Liga season, he has only participated in six games, totaling 197 minutes on the field.
According to Transfermarkt, Romero’s market value peaked at five million euros. Currently, his estimated transfer fee stands at 3.5 million euros. His loan agreement with Alavés extends until June 2025. Will Alavés cut short his loan to facilitate a move that could revitalize his career in Guadalajara? Only time will tell.

Welcome back, football fans, to another exciting edition of “Inside the Pitch!” Today, we have a special guest joining us: Miguel Sabah, former Mexican striker and liga MX champion. Miguel, thanks for lending your insights today!
Miguel: Thanks for having me! Always a pleasure to be here discussing the beautiful game.
Let’s get right into it.With the news of Chivas intensifying their pursuit of Luka Romero,many are wondering if the 20-year-old midfielder is the missing piece the club needs. What’s your take on the potential signing?
Miguel: Look, Chivas has made some great acquisitions already this off-season, bringing in quality players like Miguel tapia, Alan Pulido, and Luis Romo. They obviously have ambition and want to return to their winning ways. Romero, with that Argentinian flair and Mexican nationality, potentially adds another dimension to their midfield.

Miguel: Honestly, it’s been a bit of a rough patch for him at Alavés. While his potential was undeniable when he signed with Milan, he hasn’t had the consistent playing time to fully develop his abilities. Six appearances in La Liga this season are barely scratching the surface of what he could offer.
Interesting point. Now, Alavés’ decision to leave him off their roster for the upcoming match against Girona has certainly raised eyebrows.Do you think this increases the chances of him joining Chivas?
Miguel: It definitely adds fuel to the fire, doesn’t it? Could be a tactical decision, or maybe there’s something more going on behind the scenes. Either way, it definitely signals that Romero’s future at Alavés might be uncertain. Chivas is smart to seize this opportunity.
It’s certainly a exciting time for Chivas fans! What do you think Romero needs to do to truly thrive in Liga MX?
Miguel: He needs to find that spark again, that confidence that led to him signing with Milan. A change of scenery,a fresh start,and consistent playing time could be just what he needs to fulfill his potential. He has the talent,there’s there’s no doubt whatsoever about that.
Essentially, it’s a chance for him to reset and reignite his career?
Miguel: Precisely! Liga MX is a very demanding league, but it can also be a fantastic platform for young players to showcase their abilities. If Romero arrives with the right mindset and Chivas utilizes his strengths effectively, this could be a mutually beneficial move.
