Efraín Juárez is seeking to restore Pumas' lost prominence, as the club has not won a Liga MX title in 14 years.

He now has the opportunity to assemble his squad from scratch for the 2025 Apertura, after taking over the position in the middle of the competition.

In the wake of Lisandro Magallán's departure, who did not renew his contract to return to Argentina, Juárez intends to strengthen the defense with an experienced player.

The option would be Héctor Moreno, a homegrown player of the club, who debuted with Pumas in 2006 and left for Europe the following year.

According to El Universal, the coach has already sounded out the defender to see if he would be willing to return.

In addition to a center-back, the club also plans to reinforce the attack, where Guillermo Martínez and Funes Mori did not meet expectations.

Among the names being considered are Alfredo Morelos and Diber Cambindo, both with recent good performances.
