They will get him! Discover which player is Cruz Azul close to steal from Club América

Mauro Lainez, Diego's brother, acknowledged that he has been contacted from Cruz Azul and that he is very interested in joining the team in the near future. The Xolos de Tijuana player admitted that it is an honor that such a great team is interested in him and that he dreams of playing for La Máquina Cementera one day.

The interest of Cruz Azul is joined by the interest of another of the teams from the Mexican capital, Club América, which also wants the midfielder for the next season. The 24-year-old player arrived at Xolos in July 2019 from Pachuca and is under contract until 2023. His value is of about one million dollars.

Diego's brother is one of the few players who stand out in the irregular season that Xolos is having. He has been present in 13 of the 15 games of the Tijuana's team in the Liga MX. The attacking midfielder is one of the players that has been used more times by Tijuana this season.

This Friday Xolos de Tijuana will face Pachuca, Mauro Lainez's former team. The game is crucial to their intentions of qualifying for the playoffs. With two weeks left until the end of the regular season, Xolos is in 14th position with 14 points. Meanwhile, Pachuca is 7th with 22 points.
