chivas too Offer Two Homegrown Players in Potential Trades Ahead of 2026 Reinforcements
Guadalajara‘s Sports Directorate, led by Javier Mier, is proactively planning for future transfer windows, potentially sacrificing two academy products to bolster the squad for the Clausura 2026 season. The club is reportedly prioritizing defensive reinforcements and may utilize players as trade assets to acquire targets desired by manager Gabriel Milito.
Communicator Alejandro Ramírez revealed the club is considering moving two players, both age 27, to facilitate incoming transfers. “There are others who are looking for an opportunity and it could be a win-win exchange. I lend you this defender who is no longer giving me, I feel he is stagnant so that he has another type of motivation and here I have another one, even though it is indeed true that it is not an element that has had regularity and has been coming back from injury. I put it there, it may help you,” Ramírez stated on his YouTube channel. “And in the profile of players you are looking for, economically you can also enter.”
Gilberto Sepúlveda, who has faced criticism for his performance and reportedly struggles with team atmosphere, is considered a likely candidate for a trade.Additionally, Luis Olivas, recently recovered from an ACL injury sustained last semester, has not featured in Milito’s plans and is also being considered as a potential bargaining chip.
Ramírez noted that despite Olivas’s recovery, “with the characteristics that Gabriel Milito wants a player to have, to play, he does not have the profile to continue.” The club hopes these moves will create financial flexibility and open opportunities to acquire players who better fit Milito’s system.
