Mexico’s Liga MX is already buzzing with activity as teams gear up for the Apertura 2025 season, following Toluca’s championship win in the Clausura 2025. The transfer window is open, and clubs are making moves to bolster their squads for the upcoming competition.
Liga MX Transfer Roundup: Ramsey to Pumas, Milito at Chivas, and More
Key signings and coaching changes are shaping up the landscape of Mexican soccer.
- Pumas made a splash by signing former Arsenal and Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
- Chivas officially appointed Gabriel Milito as their new manager and added Efraín Álvarez to their roster.
- Atlético San Luis is bolstering their squad with European talent, including Juanpe from Girona and Joao Pedro from Hull City.
- Cruz Azul has a new coach in Nicolás Larcamón and is adding players like José Paradela and Jeremy Márquez.
The ‘bomba’ of the transfer window so far has landed at Universidad Nacional (UNAM), as Aaron Ramsey, formerly of Arsenal, Juventus, and the Wales national team, has left Cardiff City to become the new ‘10’ for Pumas ahead of the Apertura 2025 season.

Ramsey won’t be the only high-profile addition for Pumas. Rumors suggest that Keylor Navas could become the team’s new goalkeeper, and the Costa Rican shot-stopper reportedly doesn’t dismiss the possibility of joining the Aztec football league.
