Cruz Azul Targets Club América Star Henry Martín in Potential Shock Transfer

The Liga MX transfer market could be headed for an unexpected twist. Cruz Azul has set its sights on Henry Martín, a historic striker for Club América, in what would be one of the most controversial moves in recent Mexican football history.

La Máquina’s front office is evaluating the Yucatán-born forward as a possible solution to strengthen its attack after being left with a significant gap following the departure of Sepúlveda and the failed signing of Borja.

While Cruz Azul has not yet submitted an offer or opened formal negotiations with América, club officials are closely analyzing Martín’s profile due to his experience, leadership, and deep knowledge of Mexican football.

Henry Martín would represent a high-impact signing both on and off the field. His leadership in the locker room and proven goal-scoring record make him an appealing candidate as Cruz Azul looks to address its lack of attacking efficiency.

However, the striker’s current physical condition has sparked internal debate. Martín endured a difficult semester plagued by recurring injuries, which disrupted his rhythm and limited his goal output last season.

In the current tournament, the forward has yet to log any official minutes due to ongoing muscle issues, forcing Cruz Azul to carefully weigh the risks before making any move.
