Javier Eduardo López, known as Chofis, had a very promising career when he appeared at Chivas. He was even called the new Carlos Vela when he was a youth, but time proved that his conditions where others. After playing his entire career for the Rebaño Sagrado he will now move on.

Committing undisciplined acts was the reason for which both head coach Víctor Vucetich and sport adviser Ricardo Peláez decided that Chofis will leave the club. After his first appearance for the Liga MX side on July 2013, he had played 185 games, scoring 21 goals and giving 12 assists.

With a contract lasting until June 2022, it is now a matter of time for him to leave. He will have to find a club that wants him and try to convince them on paying what Chivas pretend. His actual reported value stands at $2 million, according to specialized website Transfermarkt.

Many clubs have showed interest on Chofis since Chivas axed him. It was said that Matías Almeyda could take him to MLS side San Jose Earthquakes. But in the last hours it has been rumored that his future could be at Mazatlán FC, where head coach Tomás Boy wants him.
