Chivas ‘to sign’ Kevin Castañeda after advanced talks | OneFootball

According to DeporTotal MX, Guadalajara are in very advanced negotiations with Xolos to acquire midfielder Kevin Castañeda’s registration, with talks in the final phase and an aim to conclude soon.

Club president Amaury Vergara has ordered Chivas players to return to the club and leave the Tri camp. The move comes amid controversy around an FMF authorisation that included Alexis Vega.

Looking ahead to Apertura 2026, the first move could be internal, with Luis Rey set to return from his Puebla loan. ESPN reports La Franja are unlikely to trigger their purchase option, so the centre-back would rejoin after Clausura 2026.

The report adds that Chivas are very interested in Cruz Azul striker Ángel Sepúlveda, viewed as a possible replacement for Alan Pulido up front.

Guadalajara are also progressing on a deal for Eduardo Águila, who is being lined up as their first reinforcement for the next tournament.

ESPN also reports that Cade Cowell is not in Chivas’ plans and the club have set an asking price to facilitate his exit.

Youngster Armando ‘Hormiga’ González has emerged as a standout for Chivas, though his future at the club is uncertain.

According to El Universal, centre-back Gilberto Sepúlveda has his exit on track and this is likely his final tournament with Chivas, with several clubs interested.

Samir Inda’s debut drew attention due to a detail on his kit.
