Cruz Azul seeks a way out for several players discarded in the Apertura 2023, and one of them is forward Iván Morales. Pumas has shown interest in the player, although at the moment only the possibility of a one-year loan has been considered. The Celeste board is evaluating this proposal, but no formal negotiations have started yet.
Iván Morales failed to convince coach Ricardo Ferretti and, therefore, is not part of the team's plans. During the Clausura 2023, the striker was only able to score one goal against San Luis in March. However, the incident in the match against León will be remembered, when the coach called him from the bench to enter the field, but the player was not ready and this generated discomfort for the strategist. Although Morales finally had some minutes of play, they were very limited.
Pumas, in search of a center forward, has explored different options in the local market after facing difficulties in signing Rogelio Funes Mori. Iván Morales, with experience in the Liga MX and a record of 16 goals in his last season with Colo Colo, presents himself as an alternative to consider for the university team.
