Luis Chávez Could Return to Liga MX as Cruz Azul Renews Interest

Luis Chávez may soon bring his stint in Russian football to a close. The Mexican midfielder, who rose to global attention with a stunning free-kick goal in the 2022 World Cup against Saudi Arabia, is reportedly considering leaving Dynamo Moscow. As reported by TUDN and other local outlets, Cruz Azul is once again positioning itself as a strong contender for his signature.

The club had previously attempted to sign Chávez in an earlier transfer window, but negotiations fell short. With a new window approaching, Cruz Azul is expected to reignite talks, hoping to lure the talented left-footer back to Liga MX. Chávez, still part of Javier Aguirre’s national team plans, may be looking for a fresh challenge and greater exposure after a relatively quiet spell in Russia.

A return to Mexico would not only mark a strategic career move but also bolster Cruz Azul’s midfield with a player of proven international quality. While no formal deal is in place yet, the coming weeks could be decisive in determining whether Chávez will once again wear a Liga MX jersey — this time, in the iconic blue of La Máquina.
