Chivas of Guadalajara have returned to competing well in Liga MX. Gabriel Milito managed to fine-tune his players from the bench. But not everyone has the opportunity to play in Milito's plans. One of those sacrificed would be Cade Cowell.

Cade Cowell was one of the most high-profile signings the Chivas board managed to secure The 22-year-old forward arrived in Mexico from the San Jose Earthquakes. The California-born striker was expected to be part of one of the club's most ambitious projects for the future. But Cowell is not in Gabriel Milito's plans, and the door is already open for him to leave. "He's not in the coach's plans, Gabi Milito (...) He already has a price tag in case any team is interested in signing him," reported Jesus Bernal of ESPN. The report details that the Chivas board would like, at the very least, to recoup the investment they made when they went to MLS to acquire him. However, Cade Cowell's current valuation may be much lower due to his inactivity.

“What Chivas would expect to get for him, at a minimum, is what Guadalajara paid for Cowell; which was $4 million. They even believe he can be sold for a little more than what was paid for him; around $5 or $5.5 million,” the report adds.
