The topic of player renewals at Cruz Azul is generating a lot of anticipation, as several players are approaching the end of their contracts and other teams have shown interest in signing them. Charly Rodríguez, Erik Lira, and Ángel Sepúlveda are the players whose renewals have been on the board for discussion by the management. So far, only the renewal of the team's forward has been confirmed.
Discussions to extend the contracts of the other two players are ongoing, but it has been reported that an international club may interfere in these negotiations. Nice from France has shown interest in midfielder Erik Lira, considering him a valuable addition to their squad. This possible overseas transfer could impact the renewal negotiations.
In the specific case of Erik Lira, the club has expressed its intention to improve the player's conditions, offering him a salary increase, a contract extension until 2029 for four years, and an exit clause in case they receive an offer from a European team. Lira is a key figure in the team, having played 7 matches this season, 6 as a starter and with one goal to his name. Additionally, he is one of the club captains and one of the most promising talents in Mexican football.
