  • Mexican goalkeeper Raúl 'Tala' Rangel is reportedly a target for Dinamo Zagreb.
  • The Croatian club is participating in the Champions League qualifying rounds.
  • Chivas could demand up to $15 million for the transfer of their starting goalkeeper, who has a contract until 2028.

Mexican goalkeeper Raúl 'Tala' Rangel is attracting interest from European football, with reports indicating that Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia is pursuing his signature. The Croatian club is currently competing in the qualifying stages of the Champions League, a move that would represent a significant step up for the young player.

This potential transfer comes shortly after it was confirmed that Armando 'La Hormiga' González will move to Olympiacos in Greece, marking the first transfer of a Mexican player to Europe post-2026 World Cup. Rangel could follow a similar path, joining a different league but also a prominent European team.

The Croatian club is interested in the services of the Chivas goalkeeper, although there is still no information about Guadalajara's response.

Rangel, who also serves as the starting goalkeeper for the Mexican national team, has a contract with his current club, Chivas, that extends until 2028. Given his importance and long-term contract, Chivas is reportedly prepared to demand a transfer fee of up to $15 million for his release. The response from the Guadalajara club regarding Dinamo Zagreb's interest has not yet been disclosed.

As 'Tala', who is also the starting goalkeeper for the Mexican National Team, has a current contract with Chivas until 2028, El Rebaño could ask for up to 15 million dollars to grant his departure.
