Since April, Jović had already shown interest in the sky-blue club thanks to the constant messages from the sports director.
'They sent him videos of what Cruz Azul was like,' Santiago mentioned about the follow-up.
Giménez explained that the Serbian began to approach during training to learn more about the club.
'He asked me… and I told him it's a wonderful club, that he would enjoy it a lot,' he added.
Finally, he highlighted the attacker's qualities: 'You throw him a ball and he holds it for you.'
Although he acknowledged that there is a good forward line, he considered that 'with Luka's addition… there will be internal competition that will make everyone grow.'

Cruz Azul stuck in a poor run against Atlas
Cruz Azul accumulated their sixth consecutive match without being able to beat Atlas, being the worst streak of the club against the red and blacks in Liga MX. Eduardo Aguirre has been key in this hegemony, participating in 60% of Atlas' goals in five of those matches. It all started in the Clausura 2023 repechage, shortly before Aguirre was announced as a reinforcement for the sky blue team. However, after failing the medical exams, his arrival at Cruz Azul was frustrated and he ended up signing with Atlas. Since then, 'Mudo' has become a nightmare for La Máquina, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the last five encounters. He only missed the first one of this streak, when he was not yet playing with the Tapatíos. Aguirre was not the only frustrated signing, as Matheus Dória was also close to arriving that summer of 2023. The Brazilian, although he played less, also left his mark with a goal against Cruz Azul on Matchday 2 of the Apertura 2025. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

🎥 Unforgivable blunder by Kevin Mier in Atlas v Cruz Azul
Kevin Mier once again becomes a protagonist in the match between Atlas and Cruz Azul, although this time not thanks to his good performances. The sky-blue goalkeeper made a huge mistake that led to the first goal for the Tapatíos. In his attempt to control a back pass from Walter Ditta, Mier lost the ball and handed it over to Eduardo "Mudo" Aguirre. Immediately, social media exploded and the sky-blue fans, upset, compared the goalkeeper to Rodrigo Parra, Pumas' goalkeeper, in Matchday 1.

🎥 Gignac returns as Tigres see off Juárez
Tigres earned their first three points in the Apertura 2025 by defeating Juárez by the minimum difference. The match was highlighted by the return of André Pierre-Gignac, the debut of Ángel Correa, and the sending off of Ricardinho. Although the felines dominated the match, the goal didn't come until the 67th minute, when Ozziel Herrera, after a team play, broke through the goal guarded by Sebastián Jurado. Although Bravos took too many precautions in the match, they were limited in attack after Ricardinho received a red card for an accidental play on Rômulo Zwarg. In addition to the victory, the university squad also celebrated Gignac's return to the pitch, who had been out due to injury since the Clausura 2025. With one game less, Tigres sits in seventh place and will return to action next Saturday to face the Liga MX champion. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
