Negotiations for the transfer of 34-year-old Mexican centre-forward Ángel Sepúlveda to Guadalajara are paused until Cruz Azul finishes its participation in the Liga MX and the Intercontinental Cup. Sources indicated to RÉCORD that the operation is progressing well and that the deal is very likely to happen, with the signing potentially being confirmed once the competitive schedule allows. A different source involved in the negotiation stated that the agreement was very close to being finalized, and the player's circle is also confident the move will occur. The directors of Cruz Azul and Guadalajara are expected to hold conversations to complete the transfer in the coming weeks, following the end of Cruz Azul's season. Sepúlveda joined Cruz Azul in August 2023. He has 12 caps and 3 goals for Mexico and has scored 7 goals with 3 assists in 16 Liga MX Apertura appearances this season. His current market value is listed as €700k by Transfermarkt.
