The evolution of Chivas striker Armando “Hormiga” Gonzalez seems to have begun attracting the attention of several European teams that are supposedly making significant offers for the forward, such as CSKA Moscow and Feyenoord of the Netherlands.

According to reports from the sports channel ESPN and other sports media in Mexico, it was highlighted this Thursday that Hormiga received an offer of almost 20 million dollars from CSKA Moscow, something like 340 to 400 million pesos.

The news reports assure that the Russian team was interested in paying the contract's buyout clause, but the striker, advised by his father, who was also a striker for Guadalajara in the 90s, decided to reject the offer.

The main reason was not financial, but sporting; The striker is prioritizing his time with the national team in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he aims to secure a spot on the final roster for the international tournament. For this reason, they decided not to take advantage of his time in Europe, but rather wait until after the World Cup to pursue an adventure on the Old Continent. Gonzalez has shown significant improvement since winning the Golden Boot in the 2025 Apertura tournament. He believes that staying in Mexico guarantees him a prominent role and the competitive rhythm to fight for a starting position in the Tricolor's attack. Chivas recently extended his contract until 2029, meaning any interested club will have to pay a record fee to acquire him from the Guadalajara-based team, which has undoubtedly found its prized asset and will seek to maximize its returns after the World Cup with a fee double what they are currently offering. The Russian club is also no stranger to Europe, having played in the Europa League final last year against Sporting Lisbon, which ended 3-1 in their favor. Russians. The most shocking thing was that the victory was achieved on Portuguese soil, at the Estadio Jose Alvalade, home of Sporting.where CSKA silenced the entire stadium and secured one of the most important victories in their country's football history.

Meanwhile, Feyenoord's offer stems from their familiarity with Mexican football due to the presence of several Dutch players who have played in Liga MX, such as Hans Westerhoff, among others, and their discovery of players like Santiago Gimenez, who now plays for AC Milan.
