In Atlas they will start from scratch. The negotiations are very advanced between Alexi Gómez, Universitario de Deportes and the Mexican club's executives for the player to play in Mexican soccer next year. However, what is confirmed is that the squad will be completely restructured.
Through a statement on their website, the 'foxes' announced that they will part ways with up to eight players for the upcoming season. The players who are no longer included in coach José Guadalupe Cruz's plans are: Fidel Martínez, Facundo Erpen, Carlos Nava, Flavio Santos, and Jefferson Duque.
Furthermore, it is necessary to mention that Atlas will no longer count on the services of Cristian Tabó who is going to Puebla nor José Madueña and Javier Salas, who will be new players for Cruz Azul.
Meanwhile, the situation of the next team of Alexi Gómez is not good in football terms. They only reached the quarterfinals in the last Apertura, as they were eliminated in home and away matches against Monterrey. Likewise, they have not won a national title since the 1950-51 season.
