Braga has reportedly already placed a bid on the table for Montiel alongside Ajax. His market value is 4.5 million euros. Montiel, a nineteen-year-old defensive midfielder from Pachuca, has also drawn interest from Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Moscow, and Cruz Azul. Ajax, having a collaboration with Pachuca, might have an edge in the negotiations. This summer, Montiel is participating in the Club World Cup with Pachuca, having played 35 matches this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
