Brian Gutiérrez could become one of the rare Mexican footballers to make a direct transfer from Liga MX to France. Several Ligue 1 clubs have expressed interest in the midfielder, which may lead to his departure from Chivas in the near future.
The history of Mexican players in the French league is quite exclusive. The first notable success was current national team coach Rafa Márquez, who moved from Atlas to Monaco in 1999, launching a highly successful European career.
Other players who have featured in France include goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who joined Ajaccio from Club América in 2011 for a three-year stint, and Eugenio Pizzuto, who signed with Lille after a strong performance at the U-17 World Cup but struggled to break into the first team.
If a deal is finalized, Gutiérrez would become the fourth Mexican to play in the history of Ligue 1. This would mark a significant step for the young player, who only recently joined his current club.
