Récord reports that Cruz Azul is interested in 29-year-old Mexican goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo as a potential replacement for their injured goalkeeper, Kevin Mier. Cruz Azul is the primary club interested in Carlos Acevedo, an interest prompted by an injury to their starting goalkeeper, Kevin Mier. It is reported that the club considers Acevedo the ideal replacement to maintain its ambitions, and the goalkeeper would view the transfer favorably as a way to secure his position in the national team process. Acevedo is available for transfer because his current club, Santos Laguna, intends to sell him to improve its finances. After a potential transfer to Toluca did not proceed, other teams such as Rayados de Monterrey and Xolos de Tijuana are also observing the situation. Acevedo has 6 caps for the Mexico national team and has made 17 appearances in the Liga MX Apertura this season. He joined Santos Laguna in July 2017, and his contract is valid until June 30, 2027. Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €3.00m. According to a report from December 2025, the potential transfer to Toluca was stopped because the club preferred to avoid an expense close to five million dollars (approximately €4.7 million).
