The Liga MX 2024 season has come to a thrilling conclusion, leaving fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the next tournament, the Clausura 2025. From standout performances to significant transfer news, this year has been anything but boring for Mexican football lovers.
At the center of attention has been Henry Martín, who not only led Club América to unprecedented heights but also solidified his status as one of the club's greatest players. His ability to score consistently throughout the season helped America secure their first tricampeonato, or three consecutive championships, marking a historic achievement within the modern era of Liga MX. His leadership both on and off the field has shown how instrumental he is to the club’s strategy and goals.
Meanwhile, the Liga MX is currently engulfed in the drama of transfer news, as teams look to bolster their rosters during the off-season. Clubs are scrambling to make significant changes to improve their fortunes heading toward the upcoming Clausura 2025 tournament. The transfer window opened on December 2, 2024, and will remain active until December 30, providing teams with the opportunity to sign or trade players, with the FIFA registration extending until February 2, 2025.
Among the clubs attempting to reshape their teams, Santos has emerged as the most active. Following their disappointing last-place finish in the Apertura 2024 season, they have already secured four new signings, including Fernando Ortiz as their new head coach. This strategic move aims to revitalize the team and secure their position back among the top contenders.
Chivas is also actively engaging with the transfer market, trying to navigate away from challenging situations following the exits of key players. Jesús Orozco Chiquete’s move to Cruz Azul may signify not only his departure but could also lead to bigger shifts within the squad as they look to remain competitive. Chivas has signed Óscar García as their head coach and has made Miguel Tapias their first official signing, coming from Minnesota United.
Across the league, the managers have been busy reshaping their strategies, leading to several changes at various clubs. Santos’ Ignacio Ambriz is one of the notable exits, as several teams have already secured new managerial appointments. For example, Antonio Mohamed has returned to coach Toluca, and Gonzalo Pineda has taken over at Atlas, both aiming to make their mark on the upcoming season.
The transfer market buzz includes numerous rumors about significant player movements. The Club América is drawing interest for Oussama Idrissi, who has been impressive with Pachuca and is rumored to be a target for teams eyeing success. His engagement with the national team during the Intercontinental Cup finals against Real Madrid has only raised his profile.
On the other side, there’s speculation around possible exits from the reigning champions, with Richard Sánchez’s future under scrutiny as MLS clubs and Santos are keeping tabs on the situation. Meanwhile, players returning from their international tours like Nelson Deossa could look to make substantial strides back to their home league.
The confirmed transfers see numerous other teams making moves. For Atlas, the announcement of Gustavo del Prete and Carlos Orrantia will look to invigorate their line-up, enabling the club to make serious playoff runs. Atlético de San Luis has also capitalized on this transfer window, acquiring Jhon Murillo as they aim for redemption following the last season’s performance.
Despite the shifting dynamics, there remain some veteran players announcing their retirements, such as León's Andrés Guardado, which sparks conversations about the future direction of clubs and their reliance on experienced talent.
With the Clausura 2025 fast approaching, anticipation builds among fans and clubs alike as they monitor the transfer window closely. Each hour counts, and teams are frantically working to finalize their rosters before the final deadline hits. The scramble for talent is on!
Every transaction will play a pivotal role not only for team strategies but potentially reshaping the Liga MX’s competitive edge—especially against the backdrop of America’s recent dominance. The thrill of inter-team rivalry will once again ignite when the new season kicks off, offering undisputed excitement for both players and supporters.
