The future of Érick "Guti" Gutiérrez at Guadalajara seems to have reached a point of no return. Even though the transfer window in Mexico has already closed, the midfielder remains "erased" from the first team by technical decision. Although the management has tried to mediate for his reintegration, Argentine coach Gabriel Milito remains firm in his stance: he will not count on the player for the remainder of the tournament.
With the imminent arrival of the Liguilla and the foreseeable absences due to call-ups to the Mexican National Team, a sector of the rojiblanco management consulted the coaching staff about the possibility of reintegrating "Guti". The intention of the higher-ups is to prevent the player from losing match fitness and market value. However, as journalist César Huerta revealed, Milito's response was negative, prioritizing the cohesion of the group that has been working under his orders.

With no place in the "Marshal's" plans, Chivas' priority is to find him a spot in Major League Soccer (MLS). The club is even willing to absorb a significant portion of his high salary in order to facilitate a dignified exit. However, so far no formal offers have appeared, leaving Gutiérrez in a situation of professional uncertainty while the Rebaño faces the decisive phase of the championship.
