Cruz Azul failed to score in their opening match of the Apertura 2025, drawing 0-0 with Mazatlán, which increases the urgency to finalize the signing of Luka Jovic.

The lack of offensive decisiveness made it clear that the team needs a reinforcement in the attack.

Although the club has been in talks with Jovic, the official announcement has not arrived, and now Getafe from Spain has also shown interest in the Serbian forward.

“The Azulón team wants to strengthen its forward line with Jovic,” reported journalist Carlos Córdova.

Jovic, former player of Real Madrid and Milan, is currently free after leaving the Italian club.

For now, there is a verbal agreement between the player and Cruz Azul, but without a definitive closure, the risk of Getafe getting ahead is real.

The Celeste board has publicly acknowledged their interest in the attacker, whom they consider key to the project.

However, the lack of definition could cost them a signing that has generated high expectations.
