Diego Reyes Faces Uncertain Future as MX League Teams Fill Rosters
A challenging offseason looms for veteran Mexican footballer Diego Reyes, as he searches for a new club following his departure from Tigres UANL. The opening weeks of the 2025 MX League season have seen teams solidify their rosters, creating a competitive landscape for the 32-year-old defender.
The early stages of the Opening 2025 season have been marked by evolving team performances, a contrast to the established order in Mexican football. While many squads are improving, Reyes finds himself in a precarious position, lacking a firm offer despite his desire to continue his professional career.
Reyes’s time with Tigres concluded after a period of diminished playing time. The club opted to end their association, allowing the player to explore other opportunities. Having previously played for Porto de Portugal, Reyes is now actively seeking a new team, but faces the obstacle of largely filled team sheets across the league.
“Most institutions have closed their templates,” according to reports from El Universal on July 27th. This presents a significant hurdle for Reyes, who is hoping to secure a contract in the coming days.
The former America player and Olympic champion with the Mexican national team in 2012 saw limited action in the last MX League campaign. He accumulated a total of 272 minutes across three games, hampered by significant injuries. His recent injury history undoubtedly complicates his search for a new club.
Reyes’s situation highlights the increasingly competitive nature of the MX League and the challenges faced by experienced players seeking to maintain their careers. The coming weeks will be crucial as he navigates the limited options available and attempts to find a team willing to take a chance on the seasoned defender.
