Rumors about the possible departure of Martín Anselmi from Cruz Azul are constantly growing, and now Víctor Velázquez, president of the celeste team, has mentioned the possibility of a legal conflict if the Argentine resigns. "Martin was told to wait in order to negotiate favorably, but he decided to leave, and we can no longer improve the agreements, so we are now looking for a way out through legal means," the executive expressed in an interview with ESPN.
According to Fox Sports, the club Anselmi is heading to is Porto F.C. While waiting to confirm or dismiss the departure of the Argentine coach from La Máquina, the Clausura 2025 tournament of Liga MX is advancing, as the possibility of a lawsuit against the strategist arises. Amid these events, Matchday 3 of the Clausura 2025 arrives, where Club Cruz Azul faces Puebla, visiting the Estadio Olímpico Universitario de CU, the new temporary home of Los Cementeros.
Mexican football continues its course, and Cruz Azul must deal with internal conflicts, such as the arrest and legal proceedings against ‘Billy’ Álvarez, accused of money laundering and fraud, in addition to the hypothetical departure of head coach Martín Anselmi. With only one point in the current tournament after a draw and a loss, the team is seeking its first victory against Puebla.
There is speculation that Anselmi may have to leave Cruz Azul after spending just over a year on the team's bench. Amid all of this, a lawsuit for breach of contract has been filed, and it is mentioned that Porto should pay around 5 million dollars to cover the release clause.
