Midfielder Sebastian Cordova, who came up through the America youth system and whose last team was Tigres UANL, is one step away from joining the two-time champion Toluca as a reinforcement, in what This can be considered an important signing by the Scarlet management for the Clausura 2026 tournament. Cordova, who had a 2025 almost to forget after several injuries that kept him out of the starting lineup at runner-up Tigres UANL to the point of being almost ignored by coach Guido Pizarro, decided to arrange his departure from the feline team to seek other opportunities. The midfielder, who was even called up to the Mexican national team and came very close to playing in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, gradually lost prominence at Tigres despite having played nearly 149 matches, with a great run in the Clausura 2023 tournament where he was a starter under Uruguayan coach Robert Dante Siboldi, with whom he won the title by defeating Chivas, coached by Serbian Veljko Paunovic. Negotiations with Sebastian Cordova: Within the monitoring As Toluca's sporting director considers several candidates, Sebastian Cordova's name has emerged strongly due to his quality and the close knowledge that sporting director Santiago San Roman has of this player, who came up through the ranks at America, then had a brief stint in the Liga de Ascenso MX with Alebrijes de Oaxaca, followed by Necaxa, and from there to Tigres UANL, where he experienced his best moments. With the almost certain addition of Cordova, the Scarlet attack would consist of Alexis Vega, Paulinho, Helinho, Nico Castro, and Jesus Angulo. It is expected that when former America player Alexis Vega leaves for the national team, Cordova will take the reins, although no one rules out the possibility that he could resurface and demonstrate that he has the potential for great things. Cordova is a player with enviable technique and proven ability, but the downside, preventing him from becoming a star, is his indifferent and stingy attitude towards his talent. football, besides being uncooperative with the coaching staff.

Cordova is coming off a 14-game absence from Tigres' Argentine coach Guido Pizarro's lineup, mainly due to being sidelined with several injuries, but also combined with his lack of interest in collaborating with the project of the Argentine coach who retired to become the strategist of the feline squad.
