Rodolfo Rotondi is getting closer to Tigres UANL
Carlos Rodolfo Rotondi, a versatile player for Cruz Azul, is getting closer to joining Tigres UANL for the Clausura 2026 tournament
Tigres UANL is reportedly on the verge of signing Argentine Carlos Rodolfo Rotondi, a versatile player for Cruz Azul, in a deal worth around eight million dollars, according to unofficial reports. who claim that the South American has reached an agreement with the Cruz Azul board.
The interest is not new, as it was reported six months ago that Rotondi had given his word to his compatriot Guido Pizarro, Tigres' coach, to become a Tigres player and thus strengthen the team's left flank, but the reality is that nothing has materialized to date.
Rotondi would leave Cruz Azul to give Omar Campos a greater opportunity with the Sky Blues, which is why they are one step away at La Noria from allowing the signing of the wing-back who has had highs and lows since his arrival at the Sky Blues in 2022.
This is not the first time that Rotondi has been in the Liga MX transfer market looking for a change of scenery, after arriving at the team under the Uruguayan Diego Aguirre, who didn't last long at the helm of the Cementeros.
In that So, the defender took almost ten months to find his rhythm in Liga MX, when his improved performance coincided with a salary increase that elevated him to another level within the Cruz Azul lineup. But after three years defending the Cruz Azul jersey, this is the second transfer window in which his name has appeared on the radar of Tigres UANL, a team capable of betting on the South American's services and which apparently will not hesitate to open its wallet to acquire the aforementioned player. Rotondi has played 144 matches with Cruz Azul and scored 25 goals, making him an important player for La Maquina Celeste in the last three championships, as he also contributed 23 assists, making him a very valuable player on the left flank. This characteristic of playing on that side has made him a highly valued player in the transfer market, and Tigres does not want to miss this opportunity.Although there are also offers from Leon and Monterrey.
A few months ago he was linked to America, but that position is well covered with Colombian Cristian Borja, so the Eagles haven't shown any further interest in the transfer market, where the Argentine player is highly valued.
Within Cruz Azul's squad design, there's a need to open up a spot for a player not born in Mexico, so the names of Lorenzo Faravelli, Gonzalo Piovi, and Carlos Rotondi have emerged as options to move on and thus be able to register Colombian striker Miguel Borja.
Rotondi's destination will be known in the next few hours, especially since he's a highly valued player at Cruz Azul, but the offer Tigres has made isn't to be dismissed, especially after how they profited from Angel Sepulveda's transfer to Chivas.
