Liga MX: Chivas want Chicharito but he's focused on a return to Europe

June 2024 ยท 2 minute read

After the painful setback in the Liga MX final against Tigres, Chivas are desperately looking for a forward to add goals to their front line.

As soon as the final whistle blew in the Liga MX final, the Chivas fans immediately put the name of Javier Hernandez as an option to reinforce Vljko Paunovic's team for the Clausura 2024.

However, such a deal is not going to be easy to pull off. Fernando Hierro, the sporting director of the Guadalajaran club, admitted in a press conference that it would be difficult.

Will Chicharito return to Mexico?

Once a Chivas' youth academy player and now playing for LA Galaxy in MLS, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez is expected to leave LA this summer.

With the team now coached by Greg Vanney, the Mexican has not won any trophies but boasts automatic renewal clauses based on his presence on the field and scoring stats, which this season have left much to be desired.

Galaxy sit bottom of the MLS standings with only 12 points and Chicharito has only scored one goal in nine games this season, two of which came from the bench.

This situation has put the Mexican in a predicament because he will soon have to play for another team and perhaps in another country.

Mexico is still not an option he is believed to be considering, though, despite the fact that he is nearing retirement age.

To finish his career, or at least the last stage of it, the Mexican striker is interested in returning to English soccer.

He is aware of his limitations, and he would no longer be looking for a place in a Premier League team but in the Championship, the second division of English soccer.

It is said that the reason for this decision is more personal than professional, as the player misses his children, who live in that country with their mother, the Australian model Sarah Kohan.
