The Argentine coach Martín Anselmi has created controversy at Club Deportivo Cruz Azul by attempting to leave the team to join Porto F.C. in Portugal. Although Anselmi assured that there was an agreement for his departure, the Mexican club denied these claims, pointing out the lack of evidence to support such a deal.
Porto F.C. confirmed that they were in negotiations with Cruz Azul, but they had not yet sent the necessary documentation to prove the agreement. Additionally, the Mexican club mentioned that the payment for Anselmi's contract termination, which was valid until 2027, had not been made. Cruz Azul stated that they had made their conditions clear from the beginning to authorize the transfer of the Argentine coach.
In light of the situation, the Mexican club has decided to take legal action against Anselmi for breach of contract. Despite being asked to report to the team's facilities, Anselmi took a flight to Europe, prompting Cruz Azul to proceed with the legal process.
Meanwhile, Cruz Azul is preparing to face Puebla in Matchday 3 of the Clausura 2025 tournament at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario de CU. The team continues to deal with uncertainty regarding Anselmi's departure and the recent involvement of 'Billy' Álvarez in a process related to accusations of money laundering and fraud.
Amid rumors suggesting Anselmi's imminent departure to Porto F.C., the Mexican club will maintain its legal stance in this conflict with the coach. The situation leaves the future of the Argentine coach at Cruz Azul up in the air and raises questions about the agreements between both clubs and Anselmi's final decision.
