Cruz Azul reportedly open to offers for former LAFC forward Mateusz Bogusz

Cruz Azul may be willing to consider selling Bogusz as interest grows abroad. A German club is reportedly preparing an offer worth around $13 million for the Polish attacker, which the Mexican side would not dismiss outright.

Bogusz has struggled to cement a place under new manager Larcamón in the Apertura 2025, playing just 346 minutes across six matches. His overall output has also been underwhelming: since arriving at La Máquina, he has tallied only two goals and seven assists in 31 appearances, with both goals coming this year.

That dip in production, combined with Larcamón’s tactical demands, has further reduced his role. Sources maintain that Bogusz has responded with professionalism. 

The Argentine coach has repeatedly praised Bogusz’s talent, but his system prioritizes central build-up and attacking width from fullbacks, leaving fewer spaces for wingers or wide forwards. That has opened the door for prospects such as Luka Romero to take on more responsibility.

Bogusz has struggled to replicate the form he showed in MLS, the very performances that initially caught Cruz Azul’s attention and secured his move to Liga MX. During his time with LAFC, Bogusz recorded 24 goals and 19 assists across 90 appearances.

Cruz Azul return to action on Friday against FC Juárez in Matchday 9 of the Apertura 2025. The Mexico City club currently sit second in the table with 20 points, just one behind leaders Monterrey.
