The future of Hirving “Chucky” Lozano is still up in the air, because although there is interest from MLS and Liga MX clubs, the Mexican winger has not reached an agreement to leave, while his current club, San Diego FC, has made it clear that he is not part of their sporting plans for 2026.
The situation places the attacker at a critical moment, especially months before the 2026 World Cup, where Mexico will be one of the hosts along with the United States and Canada.

Tyler Heaps, San Diego FC’s Sporting Director and General Manager – a position he has held since August 2024 – publicly acknowledged that there are teams interested in Lozano.
“There has been and there is interest in Hirving’s services,” he stated, highlighting that he is a player with qualities to reinforce other clubs.
However, it was also forceful:
Chucky Lozano is not and will not be part of the club’s sporting project in 2026.
If an agreement for his departure is not reached, the player could continue to train separately.
Salary, a key point in the negotiation

The Mexican striker earns around US$6 million per year.
This figure complicates his transfer, as not all interested teams can assume this contract without adjustments.
In MLS, salary caps and the Designated Player figure directly influence these types of transactions.
In Liga MX, although there are clubs with financial capacity, negotiations also depend on specific contractual conditions.

From the Mexican National Team, the message has been clear:
To be considered for the 2026 World Cup, Chucky Lozano needs to play regularly.
The lack of minutes not only affects his competitive rhythm, but also his physical condition and his projection within the national coach’s scheme.
With the World Cup tournament drawing ever closer, the room for maneuver is shrinking.
