Gabriel Fernández has been deemed transferable by Cruz Azul. His negotiations with Peñarol are advancing, and it seems probable that he will return to South American football for the upcoming season. Cruz Azul has communicated to Fernández, as well as Giorgos Giakoumakis, that they are not included in the plans for the next tournament. This decision comes as the team starts to restructure under the guidance of coach Nicolás Larcamón. The players and the rest of the team were informed of this development recently, as Cruz Azul seeks to clear foreign player slots. Fernández's return to Peñarol in Uruguay appears to be imminent as part of this restructuring initiative.
