Overview
- Cruz Azul is in advanced negotiations with Necaxa to acquire Agustín Palavecino for the Clausura 2026.
- The bid combines a cash payment with Lorenzo Faravelli moving to Necaxa as part of the deal.
- Necaxa’s hierarchy maintains a firm $8 million valuation for Palavecino and has not accepted Cruz Azul’s proposal.
- Palavecino did not play in Necaxa’s 2-1 friendly win over León, which reporters interpret as a sign talks have progressed.
- Necaxa coach Martín Varini has approved Faravelli’s potential arrival, and Cruz Azul’s Nicolás Larcamón seeks a reunion after Palavecino’s 2025 output of 58 games, 11 goals and 10 assists.
