Chivas' 2025 Apertura season ended over the weekend after losing 3-2 to Cruz Azul in the quarterfinals of the Liguilla over the weekend.
Chivas is quickly looking ahead to next season, the 2026 Clausura, as they look for transfer targets and some changes in the squad.
The club is rumored to offload Cade Cowell, who is linked to a return in the MLS, with the New York Red Bulls showing interest.
Chivas is now reportedly looking to bring in Brian Gutiérrez, who recently received his Mexican passport. The Mexican American attacking midfielder is linked with many clubs in Liga MX, but the Chicago Fire has rejected bids.
365Scores reports that Chivas is now in advanced talks to sign Gutiérrez in the winter, and only final details are left to make the transfer official.
Brian Gutiérrez Open to Join Chivas
Liga MX clubs like Monterrey and Club América were seen as the favorites to sign the Mexican attacking midfielder this January.
This new report suggests that Gutiérrez rejected a move to Monterrey or Club América as he wants to join Chivas. Chivas reportedly has a verbal agreement with Gutiérrez, and all that is left is an agreement with the Chicago Fire.
The MLS club rejected bids from Monterrey and Chivas before, with bids reported to be around $3 million.
Chivas would need to offer around $5 to $6 million to convince the MLS club to sell soon.
Chivas fans, are you excited about this potential signing for the 2026 Clausura?
