Cruz Azul is reportedly seeking to sign 25-year-old Mexican winger César Huerta from Anderlecht, and the club possesses the financial solvency to pursue the deal. América was also rumored to be interested in the winger, but Huerta's former team, Club Universidad, has now apparently entered the pursuit and is in very advanced negotiations. According to information from Carlos Ponce de León, Anderlecht is asking for approximately 6 million dollars. The same source indicates that Pumas has an advantage over its rivals because it still owns a percentage of the player's rights. Huerta, who has 27 caps and 3 goals for Mexico, joined the Belgian club from Pumas in January 2025 for a reported fee of €2 million and has a contract until 2029. In June 2026, his asking price was reported to be between €3-6 million. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.50m.
