San Diego FC Puts ‘Chucky’ Lozano on the Market After Yearlong Evaluation

Club leaders cite a year-long review of fit, discipline, training habits as the reason.

Overview

  • San Diego FC officials announced Lozano is no longer in the club’s sporting plans and will be moved via sale or loan despite an active contract.
  • Coach Mikey Varas described the call as the product of a season-long assessment of alignment with the project, with reports noting a playoff altercation as context.
  • Journalist reports point to MLS interest, naming Atlanta United as a leading option, though no club has confirmed negotiations.
  • Liga MX responses vary as América rules out any move, Monterrey’s president says their market is closed, and Pumas’ leadership has not evaluated a deal.
  • Lozano’s reported $6 million salary poses a major hurdle for Mexican clubs, and the 2026 World Cup’s proximity heightens urgency around his next destination.
