As the Chivas prepare to kick off their training for the Clausura 2026 season, a notable shake-up is underway. Three key players-Alan Pulido, Alan Mozo, and erick Gutiérrez-have been notably excluded from the team’s upcoming training camp, signaling a potential shift in their futures with the Guadalajara club. Sources confirmed that these players will remain in Guadalajara while the rest of the squad embarks on their beach training regimen.
The decision to leave these three players behind is reportedly due to them not fitting into the current plans of the coaching staff and the club’s management. with the new tournament set to begin in early January, the team is actively strategizing for the upcoming season, and this exclusion suggests a proactive approach to roster management.
Potential Moves and Future Prospects
The future for Erick Gutiérrez appears to be one of significant interest,notably from Major League Soccer (MLS). San Diego FC has reportedly expressed strong interest in acquiring the midfielder, placing him on their radar for the upcoming season. This potential move could see Gutiérrez joining a growing contingent of Mexican talent in the burgeoning MLS.
Alan Pulido’s situation is elaborate by a recent health issue. He was hospitalized due to an intestinal infection but was discharged on Tuesday and is expected to resume training. Though, his absence from the team’s training camp suggests his immediate future with Chivas is uncertain.
Alan Mozo is also awaiting clarity on his future, with the club reportedly seeking a team interested in his services. All three players are expected to continue their individual training at Verde valle,the club’s training facility,as they await definitive decisions about their next career steps.
Broader Roster Adjustments
Beyond Pulido, Mozo, and Gutiérrez, several other players are also not part of Chivas’ long-term plans. These include Luis Olivas, Leonardo Sepúlveda, Eduardo García, and Teun Wilke. For Wilke, the club is exploring loan options with the aim of potentially reintegrating him into the squad in the future.
The Chivas squad will be conducting their beach training on Christmas Island throughout the week. Notably, Ángel sepúlveda is scheduled to join the team there after arriving in Guadalajara on Wednesday to finalize his contract with chivas. This indicates that while some players are departing, new additions are also being made.
Club officials have indicated that no further significant signings are expected at this time. The focus remains on managing the current roster and finding suitable placements for players who are not in the immediate plans. this approach suggests a strategic effort to optimize the squad before potentially pursuing additional reinforcements.
