Elías Hernández arrived in Cruz Azul in mid-2018, with the poster of the figure of León, one of the best players in Liga MX and so he demonstrated during his first semester at the Machine. However, injuries began to arrive, the Patrolman lost ground and even left the title.
Pedro Caixinha left, Robert Dante Siboldi arrived, and Hernández got lost. He practically never returned to the title and became the eternal target of the fans, after his infamous drop in skill level and decline in quality, which even left him marginalized in the Mexican national team.
As the contract with Cruz Azul expires in mid-2021, the current board’s intention was to negotiate a possible exit, to make money for him and get some money back, because there is no money to do signings for the next semester. And there is already a club that raised its hand for the Patrolman.
Club León is interested in signing Hernández, and the Machine has already put a price on its stride: $ 3.5 million, the same as they paid for him nearly three years ago. However, they think it is too expensive and are not willing to pay that amount.

The Machine is not interested in a loan and wants to recoup the investment it made for it. What do you think? #Fieramania pic.twitter.com/YzuSr2cx1l
