Alan Pulido’s recent contract termination has shaken up the current situation at Chivas de Guadalajara, putting the spotlight on another key figure on thin ice: Érick Gutiérrez. According to journalist Jesús Bernal, the midfielder is not in Gabriel Milito’s plans, forcing him to make a drastic decision about his professional career for the rest of 2026.
Guti’s dilemma: Money or playing time
Gutiérrez faces two opposite scenarios. On one hand, he can see out the year and a half remaining on his contract, collecting his salary without playing. On the other, the most viable option from a sporting perspective is to seek a way out. “It’s not good for him to be inactive for that long,” reports close to the club say, especially after the player’s message on social media in which he admitted he misses football.

Los Tuzos would be willing to open the doors for him to return to the club that developed him, as long as the player agrees to a considerable reduction in his financial demands. With only two options on the table, Gutiérrez’s future seems to be moving definitively away from Verde Valle.
