Chivas Set to Acquire Kevin Castañeda, Yael Padilla Expected to be Loaned Out

Chivas is reportedly on the verge of finalizing a deal to bring Kevin Castañeda into their squad for the upcoming 2027 Apertura season. As per recent updates from AS, the player currently with Tijuana has reached a verbal agreement with the club.

In order to facilitate this transfer, Tijuana has requested that Chivas include a player on loan as part of the arrangement. It appears that Yael Padilla, a promising 20-year-old talent, will be the player chosen to make way for Castañeda. Despite the favorable opinion of Padilla by coach Milito, the young midfielder may find more opportunities for playtime with Tijuana.

The deal is expected to involve a financial component beyond the loan agreement, indicating that Chivas will still need to provide additional funds to complete the transfer.

This move highlights Chivas' ongoing commitment to enhancing their roster as they prepare for the next season in Liga MX.
