Carlos Ponce de León confirmed that negotiations are taking place between Chivas and Cruz Azul for the forward Ángel Sepúlveda, although nothing has been finalized. According to Ponce de León, Chivas is negotiating for the forward and is willing to exercise the purchase option. Ponce de León also detailed that Sepúlveda's agent, Manfredi Caloca, has been offering the player for several weeks, which is how the opportunity for the Rebaño came about. According to Ponce de León, Cruz Azul will wait until the season ends before making a decision.

Nicolás Larcamón, the coach of Cruz Azul, praised 34-year-old Mexican forward Ángel Sepúlveda for his performance, particularly highlighting his spectacular bicycle kick goal. Despite Sepúlveda's strong start to the season and significant impact, Larcamón emphasized the need for another striker to handle the demanding schedule ahead, indicating a desire to bolster the team's attacking options. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €700k.
