Espanyol linked with move for Chivas winger Alexis Vega | OneFootball

Despite recently signing a contract extension at Chivas, Alexis Vega has yet again been linked with a move to Europe.

The attacker has made no secret of his ambition to cross the Atlantic at some point, but that seemed to be put on the long finger last month when he committed himself to the Flock until the end of 2023.

However ESPN reporter John Sutcliffe has claimed that LaLiga side Espanyol are now looking to land the Mexico international.

The timing would seem strange, especially from a Chivas perspective as they prepare for Saturday’s Apertura opener at home to Juárez.

There’s also the financial aspect, as it would take a considerable bid to convince Chivas to agree to allowing their reported top earner to depart.
