While in Saudi Arabia they assure that the Mexican Julián Quiñones has one foot in Chelsea after his historic 2026 World Cup, from England the reality is completely different.

The Tricolor attacker, who shone with four goals against South Africa, the Czech Republic, Ecuador and England, became the desire of several European clubs. His cycle at Al-Qadsiah seemed to be left behind before he made the leap to a highly demanding league.

The version from Arabia: An imminent bombing?

The rumor gained strength in the Middle East. According to the prestigious Saudi newspaper Aawsat Spt, the Mexican national team striker was on the priority radar of the Premier League squad. The news shook the market, emerging as the movement of the year for Mexican soccer. The bucket of cold water from England

However, the British response soon quenched the illusion. Ben Jacobs, renowned journalist and specialist in the Premier League environment for Give Me Sport, completely ruled out the operation. Jacobs was blunt about the forward's situation: "Al-Qadsiah's forward, Julián Quiñones, is considered non-transferable. Chelsea has not presented any offer, despite the information on the matter, which is why it is almost unlikely that Quiñones will arrive at Chelsea." A dream World Cup that changed his status

Despite the English refusal, no one erases Quiñones' consecrating tournament. The attacker arrived at the tournament after having a brutal season at Al-Qadsiah with 37 goals and four assists in 35 games.

Highly questioned in the previous process, the native of Magüí Payán exploded at the most important moment. His resilience on the field suddenly silenced the detractors and more than justified his naturalization in 2023. That young man who grew up in football in Tigres, Lobos BUAP, Atlas and América, today holds the baton of the top figure of the Mexican national team.
