Chivas awaits Olympiacos' increased offer for Armando González

Negotiations are ongoing between Mexico's Guadalajara (Chivas) and Greece's Olympiacos for the transfer of player Armando González, with a potential move to European football likely in the coming days. The Greek club remains the sole formal bidder, but their offer falls short of the $15 million release clause set by Chivas.

A source close to the negotiations confirmed that Chivas intends to retain a portion of their young player's federative rights. This does not, however, diminish their valuation of the player, who participated in the North American 2026 World Cup.

Olympiacos' initial offer was approximately $5 million for the entirety of González's federative rights, a proposal that Chivas immediately rejected. The player is aware of the interest from the Greek club, where former Mexican internationals Nery Castillo and Alan Pulido have played. González has expressed his desire to play in European football, contingent on the transfer generating a substantial amount for his formative club.

Following Chivas' rejection, Olympiacos requested a few days to re-evaluate their offer and assess whether to increase it. They have communicated this to Chivas, though a formal revised offer has not yet been presented. Chivas maintains a firm stance, unwilling to part with one of their key assets for less than what they deem a fair price.
