💎MLS’s new gem wanted by El Tri | OneFootball

The Mexican National Soccer Team has added a new talent with dual nationality. Midfielder Brian Gutiérrez, a player for the Chicago Fire in the MLS, has officially received his Mexican passport, confirming his desire to represent El Tri at the international level.

Gutiérrez, born in the United States but of Mexican parents, completed the naturalization process at the Mexican Embassy in Chicago, making him eligible for the team led by Javier Aguirre.

He could be called up, despite having played in the United States

Although the 22-year-old footballer has already played two matches with the United States National Team, these were preparatory games, allowing him to change federations without regulatory impediments.

The offensive midfielder for the Chicago Fire established himself in the 2025 MLS season, accumulating 2,381 minutes in 35 matches, with a record of 11 goals and 4 assists. His high performance and versatility position him as a valuable asset for the new generation of players that Mexico seeks to consolidate ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

His desire to play with 'El Tri'

The naturalization process contrasts with his previous call-ups to the U.S. youth teams but reflects his clear intention to play for Mexico under Aguirre's leadership.

Gutiérrez's decision comes at a crucial moment for El Tri's planning, which looks to the future and seeks to strengthen its squad with growing talents outside of Liga MX.
