According to various sports media, such as Fox Sports, the directors of Chivas and that of Cruz Azul reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Alexis Peña , who was separated from the Herd last season for participating in a party where one of his rojiblancos teammates allegedly committed a sexual assault.
The transfer could be made official during the next few days, taking advantage of the Liga MX clause that establishes that, although the registration season has ended, it is possible to sign footballers who are part of the team’s squad, as long as when he has not had activity yet in the campaign, as Chivas did with Alexis Peña, precisely with the intention of transferring the player even with the competition in progress.

As reported by the Marca newspaper, Ricardo Peláez junior was the one who made the link between Guadalajara and Blue Cross. After contact with Jaime Ordiales , conditions were favorable for Peña to leave the Guadalajara team and join La Maquina.
Alexis Peña arrived at the rojiblanco club at the beginning of 2020, as part of a negotiation with Necaxa that included Cristian Calderón and Jesús Ricardo Ángulo ; however, he never debuted with the first team, from which he was separated about three months ago.
