The veteran Mexican defender has little chance of staying with Al-Gharafa and his future is uncertain
After some sources told ESPN that defender Héctor Moreno may not renew his contract with Qatari club Al-Gharafa, options to return to Mexican football before the winter window closes, which ends on the last day of January, automatically Open.
His long experience in European football and his free transfer are reason enough for him America, Cruz Azul, Pumas and Chivas trying to repatriate him, the most complicated would be his high salary or that he still has reasons to look for football in other latitudes.
In ESPN We’re doing an exercise on how he would fit into Mexican football’s four major clubs.
In America the need to strengthen the defense has been great since with the arrival of Jordan Silva it was shown that the guideline and technical staff were looking for an addition. The leader of the lower part, Bruno Valdez, is still recovering after a ligament injury and is expected to do so come back until the end of February or the beginning of March.
The Argentinian Emanuel Aguilera has been an emerging solution, but hasn’t filled Valdez’s shoes Luis Fuentes is engaged in the center while their common position is that of left back.
The arrival of the Uruguayan Sebastian Cáceres For the Clausura 2020 he helped a lot and together with Héctor Moreno he would be the ideal starter, with youth and experience, timekeeper and Uruguayan claw and left and right.
Moreno knows exactly what it means to defend the jersey Cougars as one of the best players to come out of the cat pit in recent years. The Aztec made his debut in the first team of the university team in 2006 and after two years of starring in the star line-up he was sold to AZ Alkmaar.
Currently, Cougars has the central youth Johan Vásquez and Nicolás Freire, who have performed well and could no doubt raise their level with Moreno’s help, although a factor against Héctor could be his age. The former player of the Roma He is 33 years old, while Vásquez is only 22 years old and the Argentinian Freire is about to turn 27. Despite the fact that Moreno is considered an accomplished player, he would be a very interesting piece for the feline team’s sports project and could be the ideal reference for young players.
In sports the opportunity to Cougars Bringing Moreno back, but it seems difficult for the university board to accept a salary like Héctor’s, who earns about two million dollars a year, according to various reports. although Because it’s Pumas and because of the COVID-19 pandemic, he would agree to lower his salary.
The Holy Flock has interesting focal points in its ranks, and counting on Moreno wouldn’t do anything bad Victor Manuel Vucetich, who is still looking for the ideal partner of Hiram wo.
One of the hires that excited rojiblanca fans in 2019 was Antonio Briseño, who managed to deliver excellent performances with Feirense de Portugal, but after nearly two years in the Guadalajara club, the ‘Pollo’ is eventually not consolidated and is almost always used as a substitute. For his part, 21-year-old Gilberto Sepúlveda is one of the most interesting prospects Chivas has, but his lack of experience in the top circuit has led him to make specific mistakes, so it would be excellent for his growth into figure learning as Moreno.
On the other hand, Héctor could take on the role of leader who seeks the ‘king Midas’ in the lower part after the goalkeeper Raúl Gudiño and Hiram Mier they have not been able to fulfill that role.
Machine It is once again going through a very difficult time and the morale of the squad is at one of the worst levels after the historic elimination in the semi-finals of the last tournament and the bad start they had in Guard1anes 2021.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of one of the greatest symbols of the Tri in the last 10 years would help to brighten up the team and help the competition between ‘Catita’ Domínguez and Pablo Aguilar, which have suffered a significant drop in the level due to the delicate moment the club is going through at the sports and management level.
Moreno, who brags about three World Cup, would be a luxury reinforcement for the project of Juan Reynoso, who is still looking for that leader to help his teammates and Héctor has the credentials to be the voice on and off the field.
