The door has closed on Cruz Azul’s hopes of signing a key player as the club looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the Clausura 2025 Liga MX tournament. Management wants reinforcements to build a robust team under the leadership of coach Martín Anselmi, with several players still in their sights.
One player Cruz Azul was interested in was Luca Orellano, a 24-year-old Argentinian capable of playing as a winger on both sides or as a second striker. However, FC Cincinnati has made it clear that he will not leave the club.
According to reporters Laurel Pfahler and Pat Brennan, Orellano’s departure is now out of the question. “Luca Orellano has joined FC Cincinnati for preseason training. He was linked to Cruz Azul, but Cincinnati remains firm in its decision that he will not leave this offseason. Orellano will continue to be a vital player for Cincy “, report the two sources.

-Cruz Azul has already started to part ways with several players, including Luis Romo, and is also preparing to say goodbye to Camilo Cándido. Additionally, players such as Diber Cambindo and Sebastián Jurado, who were previously on loan, were sold permanently to Necaxa and FC Juárez, respectively.
Currently, Cruz Azul finds itself without the choice addition of Luca Nicolás Orellano, who is currently valued at around $5.1 million, according to Transfermarkt, and had attracted the attention of Anselmi’s coaching staff.
So far, the club has made several signings, including Jesús Orozco Chiquete, Omar Campos and Luka Romero. They are also waiting to finalize the addition of Polish midfielder Mateusz Bogusz. Acquiring these four players could have a significant impact on the team and represents a massive financial commitment.
The potential signing of Mateusz Bogusz remains to be confirmed, with reports suggesting a $9 million transfer fee from Los Angeles FC. If this transfer materializes, with the three other signings already effective, Cruz Azul would strengthen its workforce with a total investment of $29 million.
