Chivas de Guadalajara Anticipates Potential Departure of Cade Cowell Amid European Interest
The football community turns its attention to Chivas de Guadalajara as they gear up to face Atlas in the first play-in match this Thursday at Estadio Akron. A victory is crucial for the rojiblancos, as it would offer them a chance to proceed to the next round of the repechaje and secure the final eighth spot in the Apertura 2024 playoffs.
Throughout the Apertura 2024 tournament, Cade Cowell has emerged as a significant contributor despite battling injuries that sidelined him for multiple matches. The United States international has been pivotal in generating scoring opportunities for Guadalajara, proving indispensable to the team’s offensive tactics. Cowell’s absence has been felt keenly, highlighting his role as a central figure for the team.
However, Chivas may soon have to contend with Cowell’s potential transfer out of the club. European interest has surfaced, particularly from the PSV Eindhoven, as reported by TV Azteca. The Dutch club sees Cowell as a possible replacement for Hirving «Chucky» Lozano, who is poised to leave for Major League Soccer, joining San Diego FC.
Currently, there is no formal offer on the table, but PSV’s interest suggests that a bid might be forthcoming. Such a move could lead to negotiations between Chivas and PSV, potentially facilitating Cowell’s transition to European football. The Guadalajara club, reportedly, is prepared to ease the transfer if the opportunity arises.
This season, Cowell has made significant gains: he has played in 12 matches, achieving five goals and two assists, enhancing his reputation among fans and scouts alike. As the situation develops, the football world will be closely monitoring any advancements in this potential transfer scenario.
