Juarez remains unmoved on Denzell García despite the recent signing of Gilberto Sepúlveda; the club keeps the 10 million price tag and, according to sources, Chivas won’t pay it. Currently, Juarez sits 12th in Liga MX with 19 pts (5 W‑4 D‑8 L) and a recent form of W L L L D.

What does Sepúlveda's arrival mean for Juarez's market?

The acquisition of 23‑year‑old midfielder Gilberto Sepúlveda sparked theories that the club would use the new player to unlock a Denzell García sale. However, reporter César Huerta of As México confirmed that García’s negotiation is separate and the asking price remains 10 million pesos. Sepúlveda’s arrival therefore does not change the management’s stance.

Why isn’t Chivas interested in García?

Huerta explained that the rumor circulating weeks ago was pushed by agents trying to place García on Mexico’s World Cup roster. The red‑white club, known as the Rebaño, has no intention of meeting the fee. “If you have to pay 10 million for him, Chivas won’t pay,” the communicator said on his YouTube channel.

How did Denzell García perform in Clausura 2026?

García cemented his place under coach Pedro Caixinha, playing every match of Clausura 2026. His form earned him a sparring role with the national team at the start of the pre‑World Cup camp. Even with Juarez scoring 26 goals and conceding 32 this season, his market value remains contested.

What’s next for Juarez in the transfer window?

With Bryan Romero currently sidelined, the club needs to bolster the midfield. The priority appears to be maintaining defensive stability while scouting options that fit the budget. The transfer window stays open and, although García’s case is stalled, Juarez may explore alternatives that don’t require a 10 million outlay.

Current team context

Juarez has 19 points from 17 games, a goal difference of –6 (26 scored, 32 conceded) and sits 17 points behind leaders U.N.A.M. Pumas. Romero’s injury continues to limit the coach’s choices, making any market move vital for the second half of the season.
