Cruz Azul has reached an agreement to acquire Argentine midfielder José Paradela from Necaxa, with the transfer fee reportedly ranging between $10 million and $12 million. Paradela, 26, who was purchased by Necaxa six months ago for approximately $2.5 million, is considered one of the best wingers in Liga MX. This transaction represents a substantial profit for Necaxa. Alongside Paradela, Cruz Azul is also finalizing a deal for Luka Jovic and is preparing to add another high-profile signing from England, currently playing in Saudi Arabia. These moves are part of Cruz Azul's broader strategy to strengthen their squad ahead of the Apertura 2025 season as they aim for their tenth league title.
