Atlas with its new board getting closer to repatriating Jorge Sánchez from Greece
In the event that Jorge Sánchez's arrival at Atlas is completed, Cruz Azul could pocket close to 800 thousand dollars
Jorge Sánchez, defender of the Mexican national team, is one step away from becoming the star signing of the Atlas red and black team, who has unofficially agreed to pay the amount of four million dollars requested by PAOK of Greece, where he currently plays.
According to the versions that are being handled, the red and black squad that administratively passed into the hands of the PRODI Group, headed by businessman José Miguel Bejos, seeks to put together a competitive team to be able to compete in the same way as the Orlegui Group did six years ago, where they won the Apertura 2021 and Clausura 2022 tournaments.
This option has been discussed for days and in a matter of hours the negotiation could be closed, although everything indicates that the details of the agreement will be refined once the defender's participation with the Mexico team in the World Cup concludes.
The data being handled is that Jorge Sánchez, who emerged from the basic forces of Santos Laguna and then went through America, Ajax from the Netherlands, Cruz Azul and PAOK from Greece, has already accepted the economic terms offered by the new board of directors of the red and black and that from there Cruz Azul would pocket 800 thousand dollars for owning 20 percent of the player's pass.
In this way, Sánchez will return to Mexico and will do so with the Zorros, who are beginning to prepare for next season under the command of Argentine Diego Cocca with the aim of renewing their laurels at a time of transition for the red and black team.
Atlas is also about to sign the Cape Verdean of Portuguese origin Duk, also known as Luís Henriques de Barros Lopes, where the forward's situation looks easier, since he is looking for a way out of Leganés and Atlas interests him in many aspects.
His speed and imbalance are his main virtues and to close his contract with the Foxes, he will travel to Florida in the next few hours to do tests and, if agreements are reached, join the team's preseason.
The red and black do not want to be troupes in the next championship and for that reason they seek to put together a competitive team, capable of responding to the expectations of their loyal fans who have been optimistic with the arrival of a new board to have a chance to fight for the championship.
