Jürgen Damm Questions Chivas’ Grandeur, Says Club Lives Off Past Glory

Damm, 32, spoke on September 9 as an Oakland Roots player after joining the USL club in February. He argued Chivas must validate their stature with titles and regular Liguilla appearances, citing América and Tigres as consistent benchmarks. He said interest from Getafe and Leganés paid less than half of what he earned at Tigres and Atlanta United, so he chose financial security. He recounted three contacts from Chivas that did not lead to a transfer, mentioning reported proposals of $9 million plus two players and $10 million plus two players and naming Tomás Boy and Ricardo Peláez in those attempts. He added that his career path later took him to América, a destination he had long hoped to reach.
