The Chivas and Cruz Azul agreed this Saturday on all the details so that the Mexico national team defender has become the first official reinforcement of the Celeste Machine for the next Clausura 2025 tournament, supposedly in an amount close to the 11 million dollars.
During the last week both teams were negotiating, but everything accelerated after Cruz Azul was eliminated from the league and the Cruzazulino coaching staff deemed it prudent to negotiate the transfer of this player who at the same time could open the doors to Monterrey or South America for the Argentine Gonzalo Piovi.
Jesús Orozco will arrive at Cruz Azul because he chose to play with the machine.
He had important offers and the option of going to the royal teams, but “Chiquete” was delighted with the club’s current project.

Among the unofficial details It is claimed that Orozco’s transfer became the most expensive transfer in the history of the winter market in 11 million dollars (approximately 221 million Mexican pesos), which would be used to bring Orbelín Pineda back.
Among the data collected, a lot of noise has been made because Cruz Azul officially disbursed this amount of moneybut unofficial sources also highlight that the two contract termination clauses were negotiated. The first for Europe of 6 million dollars ($120 million Mexican pesos) and for the Mexican market at 11 million dollars.
El Chiquete is currently recovering from dengue disease, which prevented him from traveling with the Chivas squad to Zacatecas in the preseason, but now plans changed and he could stay in Guadalajara.
Orozco plans to attend the Cruz Azul preseason on January 2where physical tests will be carried out, with which the cement team will shore up its lower team, thus optimizing this area that suffered a lot in the previous championship.
The reality is that Orozco’s move has broken the market and is expected to justify his transfer to the Celeste Machine. after the player was already unhappy in Chivas after in the last tournament they did not let him go to the Italian soccer team and above all there was no salary increase for the player.
This aspect accelerated the player’s decision to leave Chivas and Cruz Azul was the one who showed the greatest interest in supporting a squad that seems very complete. and where the Uruguayan Camilo Cándido is the main candidate to leave the team.
It is also a fact that the signing of Uruguayan Facundo Torres is about to fall through for the offer he made to Palmeiras that exceeds the money he put on the table for Orlando City. It will be in the next few hours when the future of this signing is determined or whether the Celeste Machine points elsewhere.
