A potential roster overhaul is underway at Cruz Azul as the club navigates the complexities of acquiring forward Miguel Borja,possibly leading too the departure of midfielder Mateusz Bogusz. The move signals a strategic shift for La Máquina as they prepare for the Clausura 2026 season.
The situation stems from a constraint on foreign player slots, according to reports. “Cruz Azul has a problem with Borja, because you cannot register it since your foreign places are full,” a source familiar with the negotiations explained. This limitation has prompted the club to consider offloading Bogusz to create space for the incoming Borja.
Bogusz’s Departure Appears increasingly Likely
Multiple sources indicate Bogusz has already signaled his willingness to leave the Mexican club. According to reports from AS México, the Polish midfielder has “already agreed to leave” the institution. 365Scores further corroborated this, stating that Cruz Azul “plans not to have Mateusz Bogusz for Clausura 2026,” and that the player “would have agreed not to be registered with the first team.”
The reports suggest Bogusz is open to a sale, indicating a proactive approach to facilitating his exit. This willingness to depart is further underscored by a notable social media action.
A Public Signal of Intent
In a move interpreted as a push for a transfer, Bogusz reportedly removed all images of himself wearing the Cruz Azul jersey from his Instagram profile. This gesture,seen as a measure of pressure,highlights the player’s desire to move on from the club.

Conflicting Reports and Uncertain Future
Despite the prevailing narrative, some voices within the club reportedly advocate for Bogusz’s retention. Adrián Esparza Oteo, a TUDN reporter covering Cruz Azul, stated that VÃctor Velázquez, a key figure within the association, “asked Bogusz himself to continue on the team.”
This information directly contradicts the reports from AS México and 365Scores, creating a degree of uncertainty surrounding bogusz’s future. As of now, the club has not received any concrete offers for the Polish midfielder, leaving his ultimate fate unresolved.
The situation remains fluid, but the initial indications strongly suggest that Mateusz Bogusz is on the verge of becoming Cruz Azul’s first casualty as they reshape their roster for the challenges ahead.
