One of the main revelations of the Mexican national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup was undoubtedly Luis Chávez Magallón. The midfielder, who played as an undisputed starter, contributed with a great free kick goal in the victory against Saudi Arabia. Despite 'El Tri' not being able to advance to the next phase, the player from Pachuca has attracted the interest of European teams, according to various reports, including Porto FC.
At the beginning of January, Chavez was tempted by a millionaire offer from Monterrey to wear the 'Rayados' jersey in the 2023 Clausura of the Liga MX. However, the athlete would have refused. The reason? The player is clear, he wants to go to Europe and in Mexico, he only wants to play for the 'Tuzos'.
The dream of wanting to play for a team in the 'Old Continent' would be closer than expected. During the last days, the Portuguese program Bola Na Rede revealed that the 'Tricolor' selected player is one of the main alternatives that attract Porto, a team considered one of the most important in their country.
According to the first information, there has already been contact between the representatives of the Portuguese team and the Pachuca management. However, the economic pretensions of the Mexican football team would be more than what the European club would be willing to pay.
Pachuca wants 8 million dollars to seal the transfer. On the other hand, the Portuguese would have set a limit of 6 million for the 27-year-old midfielder. According to the mentioned news, the negotiations have not closed and there is optimism that an agreement will be reached.
In the midst of this situation, Pachuca will host Juarez on Sunday, the 22nd, in the third round of the Liga MX. The match will be the last of the Sunday schedule and Chavez's team must go for the victory, considering that they have not had a good start in the championship, where they are currently in eleventh place.
