As it happened throughout the transfer market, another unusual situation involved Cruz Azul, who tried to sign a young promise of South American soccer. Although the Mexican team had not referred to it, the president of Danubio and the footballer’s own representative confirmed that they had reached an agreement with ‘La Máquina’. However, hours later the signing of Franco González by Peñarol became official.

The reality is that it was a very interesting contract for Cruz Azul, because the ‘Brush’ was the 10th of the Uruguayan National Team that won the U-20 World Cup. Likewise, it was said that Joaquín Moreno’s team was going to disburse around 2 million dollars for 80%. Even so, everything was forgotten when moments later, the 19-year-old footballer signed his link with the ‘Carboneros’.

Was this the operation by Franco González?

The concrete thing is that Conejo Pérez himself declared that there were no efforts for this footballer; something strange considering that the head honcho of Danube declared the contract. What happens is that Cruz Azul does not have a quota for foreigners, so González had to wait for Christian Tabó’s departure to close. Even so, none of the parties had patience and an exchange of players was carried out, where the ‘Brush’ will play between 6 months and 1 year in Peñarol.

As reported by Fernando Esquivel, all this context would not stop Cruz Azul from buying a part of the Uruguayan striker’s file. This is because the club believes that it is a great investment in the future; In addition, Danubio assured him that the loan to Peñarol can be cut off at any time. The plan is for González’s token to be divided among the three teams; although the participation of the Mexican team is not yet confirmed.

It is more than clear that it is not a very common practice in Mexican soccer, so it is somewhat controversial. More taking into account the complications that Cruz Azul has had to hire a center forward in this transfer market. ‘La Máquina’ lost several important elements in this market and needs to be strengthened; so it is strange to invest in a player who would only arrive in 2024.
