The novel is coming to an end

Rodolfo Pizarro has said yes to Monterrey's Rayados, and the Tamaulipas native has reluctantly accepted that he will leave Chivas.

Pizarro and his circle have said yes to the proposal made by Duilio Davino, and the only thing keeping Pizarro from being officially announced as a Rayados player is waiting for an offer from Europe, as they know there is interest from two big teams in Holland, but the offers are lower than that of the northern side.

Information from El Barrial offices indicates that the player has said yes to the president of the northern team, and Davino has already informed Diego Alonso that Pizarro has accepted the conditions from the northern team.

Pizarro knows he is not well-regarded by the board, being accused of being a rebellious type for fighting for the three million dollars owed to them since May 28, when they won the final against Tigres. Despite the negotiations to Rayados de Monterrey by the long-legged men, coach Matías Almeyda asked Pizarro to stay because he is part of his sports plans, but apparently Rayados' economic offer, as well as the treatment from the northern board and the fact that there are bonuses and no financial problems there, pleased Pizarro with Rayados' proposal, although he is waiting for the last opportunity to go to Europe.

Beyond the version that suggests that Davino has already been informed that Pizarro has accepted the conditions to go with the regios, in Guadalajara, some of Pizarro's closest teammates have commented that the player has already started saying goodbye to them.

Some say that on Wednesday night, Pizarro notified them that he is going to Monterrey's La Pandilla, as he ultimately wants a rematch with this team, after the problems he had at Chivas, where he was labeled as troublesome.

With the departure of Rodolfo Cota and now the information that Pizarro has said yes to Monterrey's Rayados, the continuity of Matías Almeyda is up in the air. The Pelado had told the locker room that he hoped the core would stay and that players would come to reinforce the squad, now the reality is that there are more subtractions than additions, and that is not to Almeyda's liking. At first, Chivas has lost its backbone. The goalkeeper, the left-sided defender who organized the attacks, and El Gallo Vázquez, the best defensive midfielder in Mexican football, have already left.

From the championship team, only a few vestiges remain. If Pizarro's departure is confirmed, Almeyda's continuity hangs by a thread. The Pelado can step aside if the disintegration of the champion Rebaño is confirmed.
