Club Deportivo Guadalajara announced the early termination of striker Alan Pulido's contract. The decision was made by mutual agreement after several months in which the player trained separately, as he was not in the plans of head coach Gabriel Milito for the Clausura 2026. 'Club Deportivo Guadalajara informs that, by mutual agreement, the contractual relationship with Alan Pulido has been terminated early,' the institution stated in an official communication. The club also thanked the striker for the time he wore the Chivas colors and his contribution during the two stages he was part of the team. The striker's return at the beginning of 2025 generated great expectations, remembering that he had been the team's last top scorer. However, his second spell, like that of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández, fell far short of expectations. The lack of finishing in front of goal and his poor performance ultimately weighed against him, especially at a club that demands immediate results. Added to this, the emergence of young talents like Armando González, who responded with goals and prominence, ended up displacing him in the internal competition. In this way, Pulido closes his second spell with Guadalajara amidst ups and downs with the feeling of an outstanding debt. Now, the striker will have to seek a new opportunity to relaunch his career.
