The Mexican goalkeeper revealed that he has been in contact with Gonzalo Pineda, Atlanta's coach, as well as Cisneros and Pulido, to learn more about the league.
The former Chivas goalkeeper, Raúl Gudiño, left Guadalajara early Friday morning to join Atlanta United in the MLS, and stated that he has nothing to prove, as it is a personal challenge and goal, and he was not afraid to leave Mexico.
"I don't think it's about proving something to someone or a team, it's simply about proving myself, I think I have to prove to myself that I can aspire to new challenges and goals to get out of my comfort zone, and all that is involved in this decision. I am very excited and happy to join a club like Atlanta."
"There were several approaches and all that, but as I have said, they were negotiations, conversations, and it was decided to go there, and as they say, I was not afraid to leave Mexico, so let's go with that excitement," he said.
With a new club and the possibility of returning to football activity, Raúl Gudiño emphasized that there is still time for a possible call-up to the Mexican National Team, which is why he has not ruled out participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
"I think in the end, you have to be active, you have to be playing wherever you can, and that helps us raise our hand to be called up. There is a process and there are still a few days and a few months to raise our hand, and if it goes well, great, if not, we keep preparing for what comes next," he added.

Finally, he revealed that he has been in communication with Gonzalo Pineda, coach of Atlanta United, as well as Ronaldo Cisneros and Alan Pulido, his former teammates at Chivas. He has received good recommendations about the MLS, ensuring that he will not regret his decision.
"I have had conversations and everything, I haven't had the phone call yet, but there have been messages and a lot of communication from the club to this side, and what excites me and motivates me is the club's desire to have me there,"
"I had conversations with Alan Pulido and Ronaldo Cisneros, where I asked them about the league, the level, and all that, and they told me that everything was fine and they gave me words of encouragement, assuring me that I would not regret making this decision," he concluded.
