Liga MX: Calero to Cruz Azul and the signings that shake up the Apertura 2026
Cruz Azul reinforces its goal with Calero, Pumas adds Córdova and Atlas bets on Mmaee. Three moves that redefine the board before the start of the tournament.
The Liga MX transfer market does not give up: Cruz Azul signed Juan José Calero as a free agent to cover the goal, a move that comes after the departure of Óscar Ustari and that seeks to shield the celestial defense in an Apertura 2026 where the title is played in details. The incorporation of the goalkeeper, with experience in Argentine and Mexican football, comes at a key moment, since the last championships have shown that the teams with fewer goals against usually fight until the last date. Calero, 31, arrives to compete with the youthful Camilo Vargas for the position, although his arrival sends a clear message: priority on defensive solidity.
