Juan Escobar’s hours would be more than numbered in Cruz Azul.
According to information from David Espinosa, FOX Sports reporter, representative Elvio Rojas is already traveling to Mexico City to arrange the departure of the footballer, who is no longer part of the plans of the new coach Martín Anselmi for Clausura 2024.
This will cause Juan Escobar to have to look for new air outside of La Noria, where he is no longer taken into account and did not even participate in training this Thursday at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium.
For now, teams from Mexico, Brazil and Spain have shown interest in the Paraguayan defender. Atlas, América and Pumas probed the footballer’s situation, but for now none of them have had any real intentions of negotiating for the player.
With this, Brazil and Spain might be the most realistic destinations for Escobar, who has had a busy week following his strong fight with Anselmi, the supposed reconciliation and now imminent departure from a team where weeks ago he was one of the most important elements.
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN ANSELMI AND ESCOBAR?
Last Saturday, January 6, Anselmi and Escobar had a heated discussion following the Paraguayan defender complained to the Argentine coach regarding his lack of minutes.
This also went hand in hand with the idea that Anselmi would already have his starting defense ready to face Clausura 2024, in which Escobar no longer appeared. And the Argentine has considered Gonzalo Piovi and Willer Ditta as his starting centre-backs, in addition to Nacho Rivero occupying the right back.
This would leave Escobar, who approached Anselmi to discuss this situation, very much out of the equation, although it all ended in a heated discussion that left the footballer in a very bad light.
Although the differences were finally resolved, Anselmi decided that the Paraguayan no longer had a place in his team, so he will have to abandon him in this same winter market.

Juan Escobar in the market.
There are several interested parties but they struggle with the NFM quotas. Some from the West and a couple of the so-called “big ones” have been aware of the Guaraní not only now…@FOXSportsMX
