Christian Ebere arrives in Mexico to finalize Cruz Azul transfer

Nigerian forward Christian Ebere has arrived in Mexico City to complete the final steps of his transfer to Cruz Azul ahead of the Clausura 2026 season. The player landed on Friday morning and is expected to undergo medical examinations and physical tests before signing his contract and being officially presented by the club.

Ebere is set to become Cruz Azul’s second reinforcement for the tournament, with the club viewing him as a key offensive addition. The reported deal will run for three years and is valued at around $3 million USD, reflecting the team’s confidence in his potential and development.

If everything proceeds as planned, the striker could have his first training session immediately under head coach Nicolás Larcamón and potentially make his debut in Matchday 6 of the Clausura 2026 against Tigres.
