Cade Cowell is reportedly set to leave Chivas ahead of the Clausura 2026, with the club approving a one-year loan to the New York Red Bulls. The California-born winger returns to MLS after a difficult 2025 in Guadalajara, where minutes were scarce under manager Gabriel Milito. The move marks another step in Chivas’ roster overhaul following their early Apertura exit.

The Apertura 2025 Liguilla is officially set, and once again the Play-In delivered more noise than impact. For the third straight year, the top eight teams from the regular-season table advanced, reaffirming criticism of a format that never allowed ninth or 10th place to break through. With Liga MX preparing to scrap the Play-In in 2026, attention now shifts fully to the quarterfinals and Toluca’s bid for back-to-back titles.

With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, dual-national midfielder Richard Ledezma has made his intentions clear: he wants to represent Mexico. The Chivas playmaker, who has featured for the U.S. at both youth and senior level, says wearing El Tri’s colors on home soil would fulfill a lifelong dream - one he believes is within reach if he performs in Liga MX.

Brian Gutiérrez has become a top target for several Liga MX clubs this winter, as his newly obtained Mexican passport would allow him to play without occupying a foreign-player slot. GOAL previously reported that Chivas are preparing an offer for the midfielder, and now America and Monterrey - two of Liga MX's richest clubs - are also in the running.

Armando González made history for Chivas, becoming the club’s seventh player to win the Liga MX Golden Boot after finishing the Apertura 2025 with 12 goals - level with Toluca’s Paulinho and Atlético de San Luis’ Joao Pedro. The young striker credited Javier “Chicharito” Hernández as a key mentor during his breakout season and said his next dream is to lead Chivas to the title.

The Liga MX Apertura 2025 regular season ended in thrilling fashion, with Toluca finishing top of the table and six teams booking direct spots in the quarterfinals. Tijuana, Juárez, Pachuca, and Pumas will now fight through the Play-In for the final two Liguilla berths, setting the stage for an intense postseason full of heavyweight clashes and fresh title hopes.
