According to a report by Récord, Cruz Azul is showing interest in acquiring Jeremy Márquez to enhance their midfield capabilities, especially in light of Alexis Gutiérrez's possible exit. This potential transfer is facilitated by América's interest in Gutiérrez, allowing Cruz Azul a chance to negotiate with Atlas. Though Márquez had previously been under América's consideration in earlier transfer windows, their attention has now shifted towards Gutiérrez. Cruz Azul is evaluating Márquez, along with José Paradela and Luka Jovic, as possible additions to their squad. Carlos Ponce de León reported that Cruz Azul, guided by Iván Alonso, is actively targeting Márquez, whose market value is estimated at 3.5 million dollars by Transfermarkt. However, Atlas is reportedly demanding six million dollars for the player. Despite a decline in his market value in 2023, Márquez's worth rebounded in 2024, positioning him as a strategic option for Cruz Azul to fortify their midfield amidst the evolving dynamics of the Liga MX transfer market.
