Chivas de Guadalajara begins roster changes ahead of the 2026 Liga MX Clausura, excluding Alan Pulido, Erick Gutiérrez, and Alan Mozo from preseason in Isla Navidad. The board is seeking placements for these players with other teams as the squad departs this Wednesday. Additional players like Luis Olivas and Teun Wilke may also go out on loan.
Club Deportivo Guadalajara, known as Chivas, is reshaping its squad for the upcoming 2026 Liga MX Clausura tournament with notable adjustments. This Wednesday, the team will head to Isla Navidad for beach training in preseason, but without three key players: Alan Pulido, Erick Gutiérrez, and Alan Mozo. Sources confirmed to Mediotiempo that none of these players are part of head coach Gabriel Milito's plans and will stay in Guadalajara.
The board is actively seeking placements for them with other clubs. For Erick Gutiérrez, MLS teams like San Diego FC have expressed interest and have him on their radar. Alan Pulido initially did not report due to an intestinal infection that led to hospitalization; he was discharged this Tuesday and will now train individually. Alan Mozo awaits similar offers. The three will continue working out at Verde Valle facilities while their futures are determined.
Additionally, other players out of plans include Luis Olivas, Leonardo Sepúlveda, Eduardo García, and Teun Wilke. For the latter, loans are being sought with the aim of bringing them back eventually. In contrast, the team will bolster with Ángel Sepúlveda, who arrives in Guadalajara this Wednesday for medical tests and to sign his contract. The source notes no further signings are expected until the exits of the non-selected players are resolved, prioritizing squad stability.
