Érick Gutiérrez set for loan transfer from Chivas to Santos Laguna
Summary

Érick Gutiérrez is on the verge of leaving Chivas de Guadalajara for Santos Laguna in a reported one-year loan deal. With Gutiérrez excluded from coach Gabriel Milito’s plans and not included in preseason activity, this departure appears necessary for the club. However, Chivas faces a financial hurdle as they will need to cover part of Gutiérrez’s salary, estimated at $1.2 million annually, since Santos is unable to pay his full wages. This move highlights the urgency for Chivas to create roster space while managing their financial commitments.
