Carlos “Gullit” Peña is close to becoming Chivas new player and has to thank Julio César Chávez

During the offseason, Chivas decided to only acquire Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado to strengthen their team, and although it seemed like they had a full squad after the 3-0 victory over Mazatlán FC, they looked nowhere near that performance last game, when they lost 2-1 against CF Pachuca.

Now, reports suggest that the Guadalajara team is in conversations to acquire Carlos “Gullit” Peña, who already played for Chivas back in 2016. Peña recently became a free agent after he was let go by Antigua GFC, his former team from Guatemalan league.

The only condition Amaury Vergara and Marcelo Michel Leaño would have for him is to periodically attend a psychologist to help him get treated for his addictions and problems outside the pitch, something that the Mexican offensive midfielder already did previously with boxer Julio César Chávez, who helped him get back on track.

How much is “Gullit” Peña worth?

After losing a lot of opportunities both in Liga MX and outside of Mexico, Carlos Peña saw his market value diminished from $4.5 million, back in 2016, to only $226,500, his current value. As a free agent, Chivas wouldn’t have to pay for him, but his salary could be around $500,000 per year.
