Chivas del Guadalajara have taken a firm step in their search for reinforcements for the Clausura 2026, and one of the names at the top of their list is that of midfielder Brian Gutiérrez, who plays for Chicago Fire in MLS. The interest is not exclusive to the Rebaño Sagrado, as América and Rayados de Monterrey have also followed the player closely. However, sources consulted indicate that Chivas has taken the lead in the negotiations.
Brian Gutiérrez, born in Illinois, United States, but son of parents from Jalisco, fulfills one of the most important requirements to wear the red and white jersey: he already has a Mexican passport, which makes him eligible to play for Chivas without regulatory restrictions. At 22 years of age, the midfielder is living one of the best moments of his career after an outstanding season in MLS, where he registered 10 goals and 4 assists with Chicago Fire. His ability to play between the lines, his technical control and his effectiveness in one-on-one play have made him one of the most sought-after young talents in the North American market.

The Guadalajara club has already established direct communication with Brian Gutiérrez and, according to reports, presented him with a formal offer for a four-year contract, with an option for a fifth.
The player showed willingness to accept the red-and-white interest, also driven by the fact that his family is a Chivas fan.
A detail that has tipped the scales in favor of the Mexican team against América and Rayados.
Now, the negotiation depends on the economic agreement between Chivas and Chicago Fire.
The MLS team has set a price for Brian Gutiérrez of US$4 million, a figure considered affordable for the Tapatía board.

If the signing is completed, Brian Gutiérrez would become Chivas’ third signing for the upcoming tournament.
The club is already considering the return of Ricardo Marín and is negotiating with Ángel Sepúlveda, currently playing for Cruz Azul.
With these moves, the Rebaño is preparing to reinforce key lines for a tournament in which it will seek to compete again for the title and improve its performance in Liga MX.
