Carranza to Necaxa: Feyenoord & Leicester Exit

A una semana de iniciar el Clausura 2026, el refuerzo de Rayados que nunca estalló en el Apertura 2025 dejó ver que buscará su revancha este año y también anotar todos esos goles que se le negaron por centímetros.

En la victoria 3-0 sobre Leones Negros en la Copa Pacífica, Martial anotó su primer gol en México.

A los 39 partidos del partido celebrado en el Estadio Jalisco, el delantero francés recibió un balón filtrado por izquierda y aprovechó que los defensas no mostraron rigor. Se adentró al área y con un amague, se separó hacia el fondo y ahí, en la esquina del área chica, bombeó ante la salida del arquero.

Gol de alta calidad el que firmó el exjugador del Manchester United, el segundo en una cuenta que abrió Roberto de la Rosa a los 25 minutos y que cerró el canterano Cristian Reyes al 54’.

Con este triunfo, el equipo que dirige Domenec Torrent se clasificó para disputar la final de la Copa Pacífica (que se jugará un día después, el 4 de enero), ante el ganador del duelo entre Atlas y Chivas.

El Clausura 2026 inicia el 9 de enero y el debut del conjunto regiomontano está marcado para el sábado 10 de enero contra el Toluca, en lo que será una revancha de la derrota 6-2 del torneo pasado.

Ya sin Sergio Ramos, el equipo regiomontano tiene la obligación de buscar el título del futbol mexicano y espera que Martial ascienda como la estrella del equipo, después de un Apertura 2025 en blanco.

it was in a friendly match and against a second division rival. But what a great goal from Anthony Martial. A week into the Clausura 2026, Rayados’ reinforcement that never broke out in the Apertura 2025 showed that he will seek revenge this year and also score all those goals that were denied him by centimeters. In the 3-0 victory over Leones Negros in the Copa Pacifica, Martial scored his first goal in Mexico. 39 games into the match held at the Jalisco Stadium, the French striker received a ball leaked from the left and took advantage of the fact that the defenders did not show rigor. He entered the area and with a feint, he separated towards the back and there, in the corner of the six-yard box, he bombed before the goalkeeper came out.

For Pachuca, Ecuadorian defender Andrés Micolta will miss the entire Clausura 2026 (which has not even started yet) due to a fracture he suffered in the kneecap of his right knee.

“In yesterday’s training, Andrés Micolta, after hitting a ball, when supporting his right knee in a rotation movement, presented pain, which resulted in a fracture of the kneecap. The approximate time of incorporation will be four to five months according to clinical evolution,” reported Dr. Fernando Márquez, director of the team’s medical services.

Pachuca will begin its participation in Clausura 2026 on January 10 with a visit to Guadalajara and will play the last date of the competition on April 25 against Pumas. The final phase will begin on May 2 and the final is scheduled for May 24, just enough time for Micolta’s recovery.

“The player was operated on by Dr. Marco Acuña, who placed screws to fix the kneecap. Next Monday we will begin his rehabilitation,” the statement concluded.

Andrés Micolta arrived at Pachuca for the 2024 Clausura tournament and immediately became a fundamental piece of the team.

He collaborated in winning the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup, the Americas derby and the Challenger Cup.

In February of last year he tore his anterior cruciate ligament, also in his right knee, which left him out of Clausura 2025 and the team’s participation in the Club World Cup.

The man born in Esmeraldas started his career in Brazil’s fifth division with Río Blanco and Castelo, and jumped into football in his country in 2022 with Nacional, a team with which he gained promotion to the first division and was later hired with Pachuca.

At the national team level he was part of those called up for the 2024 Copa América, but lost continuity after the knee injury in 2025.

The new injury interrupts his attempt to return to earn a place in his team for the 2026 World Cup.

Someone who played seven Champions League games last season cannot be a bad bet for Liga MX. This is how Necaxa understood it and completed the signing of Julian Carranza.

The Aguascalientes team made official the hiring of the former Feyenoord and Leicester City player for the next four years.

Julián Carranza, Argentine center forward who in the last 10 games of the Championship (England’s second division) was confined to the substitute, without the opportunity to see minutes, will have a new challenge in Mexican soccer, after terminating the loan that linked him to the ‘Foxes’.

Great deal for everyone, as Feyenoord permanently sold a player they did not have, despite his five goals (one in the Champions League) in his only season in Rotterdam; while the English club was able to save the salary of a player that it only used in nine games.

Thus, Necaxa signed an attacker with high potential who hopes to recover his level in Mexican soccer.

Carranza, who previously played for Banfield, Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union, is valued at 5 million euros according to Transfer market and has a total of 62 goals in his still young career.
