La Máquina eyeing a star from the ninth for a new signing | OneFootball

Cruz Azul is seeking to repatriate one of its recent idols for the 2025 Apertura, with the goal of strengthening Nicolás Larcamón's squad.

The player in question is Guillermo "Pol" Fernández, a key piece in the conquest of the ninth star.

From Brazil, RTI Esporte reports that the Argentine midfielder, now a free agent after his stint with Fortaleza, is in advanced negotiations with La Máquina.

Talleres is also in the conversation, although the blues have the upper hand.

To finalize his return, Fernández would have to accept a 50% salary reduction, as he earned $1.3 million annually in Brazil. At La Máquina, he would be offered approximately $650,000 per year.

Pol would sign for one year with an option for another if he meets certain objectives.

In his previous stint with Cruz Azul, he played 56 games, accumulated over 3,000 minutes, and won three titles, so his return generates high expectations.
