Erik Lira remains one of the most attractive names from Cruz Azul for a potential sale to Europe.

At 24 years old, the midfielder has sparked the interest of teams such as Sporting Braga from Portugal and AZ Alkmaar from the Netherlands, according to reports from international media.

Although his renewal with La Máquina seemed to distance him from the Old Continent, his outstanding performances with the Mexican National Team in the Nations League have fueled rumors about his departure.

With 128 matches played for Cruz Azul, Lira has proven to be a key player in the team's lineup and a fan favorite. However, he has made it clear that his priority is to win the coveted tenth star with the club before considering a move abroad.

“I want to win the Tenth here, and I won't leave until I achieve the Tenth,” declared the midfielder, generating great excitement among the sky-blue supporters.
