Nevertheless, There are also other players who have had the luxury of saying “no” to Aztec football, choosing to go elsewhere.
The distance, the level, the family or simply opting for another showcase that suits your objectives have been the impediments for footballers of the stature of Rivaldo, Riquelme or Luuk De Jong have rejected the offers that some Mexican clubs put on the table.
The last story of this type has just been starred by the Spanish footballer Jesé, who rejected a proposal from Cruz Azul to bring his football to Liga MX, preferring to stay at UD Las Palmas of the second division of Spain.
The Dutch striker not only did he despise a Mexican team, in fact there were two clubs that he made ugly to come to Mexico.
America was the first of them, around 2018, before he renewed his contract with PSV. Just one year later, the one who tried was Rayados de Monterrey, but they also received no for an answer, ending up at Sevilla of Spain.
At some point the America He also laid eyes on Rivaldo. The Brazilian first ignored the Eagles, opting to continue his career in Europe, although later, at the end of 2003, he was offered to the same club in Coapa for 18 million dollars, but the azulcremas now said no.
The Argentine footballer received several offers from Mexican clubs to come to Liga MX. However, he never took them into account, even arguing that the level of Mexican soccer was not the best.
The Uruguayan caused great interest, both in America and in Cruz Azul, teams that let him know their intentions to hire him and raised their conditions, but the veteran forward did not want to know anything about Mexican soccer and better signed with a team from the second division of Japan.
One more than they went to Cruz Azul and América, teams that are said to have tried to take over the Brazilian’s services, who chose to go to Major League Soccer with Orlando City.
The figure of Boca Juniors for a long time was on the radar of America, a team that he looked for him and offered him a good contract. However, the pampero never wanted to sign with the Eagles.
The historic Chelsea striker received an offer from the Gallos Blancos del Querétaro, team that sought to give a stroke of authority at the table, as it did with the hiring of Ronaldinho. Although on this occasion, the arrival of the Ivorian to Aztec soil could not be specified.
The Argentine is another of the players that America wanted to have among its ranks, but with whom he also stayed with the desire. However, although there were negotiations, it did not happen that the midfielder wore yellow.
