This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The transfer market in Liga MX is already starting to move, and Tigres, after being eliminated from the Clausura 2025 Liguilla, is working on strengthening its squad. The team managed by Guido Pizarro is reportedly eyeing a Cruz Azul player whose contract is about to end. Although many reinforcements could come from South America, Erik Lira has caught their attention due to his good performance and favorable contract situation. Lira's contract with La Máquina ends in December, which would make negotiations with the felines easier. According to reports from Marca, there have already been initial talks with his camp, as Tigres looks to get ahead of other interested clubs. Tigres is looking to replace Rafael Carioca, who said goodbye to the club after eight years, and Lira would be the ideal candidate. 📸 CARL DE SOUZA - AFP or licensors

Cruz Azul found their next sale to Europe
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Erik Lira remains one of the most attractive names from Cruz Azul for a potential sale to Europe. At 24 years old, the midfielder has sparked the interest of teams such as Sporting Braga from Portugal and AZ Alkmaar from the Netherlands, according to reports from international media. Although his renewal with La Máquina seemed to distance him from the Old Continent, his outstanding performances with the Mexican National Team in the Nations League have fueled rumors about his departure. With 128 matches played for Cruz Azul, Lira has proven to be a key player in the team's lineup and a fan favorite. However, he has made it clear that his priority is to win the coveted tenth star with the club before considering a move abroad. 'I want to win the Tenth here, and I won't leave until I achieve the Tenth,' declared the midfielder, generating great excitement among the sky-blue supporters. 📸 Manuel Velasquez - 2025 Getty Images
