I had been thinking about Cruz Azul for a while - I always liked the team and had it on my radar.”</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Márquez, who has 12 career goals since debuting in Liga MX, added that his move to Cruz Azul comes at a pivotal time, with the 2026 World Cup getting closer.</p><p>“Being at a club like Cruz Azul puts you in the spotlight.
