The fate played a bad last-second pass to the national balloon and Erik Lira was left dressed and worn with his suitcases ready to leave to the Old Continent. When the cemetery environment made the export of the star midfielder of the Mexican national team, the AS Monaco directive abruptly notified that the transfer was completely dropped.
The collapse of the operation was due to the fact that the Principality squad was unable to concretize the sale of the U.S. striker Folarin Balogun to the Everton of the Premier League, an indispensable movement to liberate the squad of extra-Community player that requires the feline squad to be registered in the football of France.
and ? ? And then??? and ? ? How is it??? And then??? ???: the market in France already closed and, as the documents of the transfer of Balogun to Everton did not arrive, Monaco failed to release the quota.

The news fell as a bowl of cold water in the spirit of the considered best tricolor player in the past World Cup 2026. Lira had everything planned as a tinting suit to incorporate into the Monegasque ranks, having successfully surpassed the medical reviews of rigor and with an economic agreement that rounded the ten million dollars on the table.
However, just at twelve hours of central Mexico time, the clock devoured the options and the Ligue 1 transfer market closed its windows permanently. By stagnating Balogun in the French plant, the administrative bunker of Monaco dropped the Aztecs’ plans under the argument of the lack of foreign coalition.

Hours before the bureaucratic disaster, the Algarve ruled in the cooperative and even Víctor Velázquez, president of Cruz Azul, had confirmed in a vivid voice the transfer of the midfielder to Europe. During the presentation of the Blue Nation social project, the heavenly leader admitted that negotiations were delayed longer than originally planned.
But he was pleased to have improved the financial conditions of the first offer and, above all, to fulfill his pledge with the footballer to give him all the facilities to fulfill his illusion of emigrating to elite football.
With the blinds closed on major European circuits, the midfielder’s agents work on forced marches to activate emergency plans. Although in the corridors of La Noria the possibility of exploring the Russian football was started, the landscape looks extremely complex because Lira’s priority remains fixed in competing in the front line leagues.
Also, a discreet radar with the Sunderland of England, a team that milits in the Championship and that has a different range of manoeuvre in its records, although the negotiations do not present the desired clarity.

In the face of this adverse scenario in international scripts, the reality dictates that Erik Lira must re-incorporate to the discipline of Blue Cross under Joel Huiqui's command to face what remains of the MX League tournament.
The nicknamed “Pitbull”, who thanks to his spectacular world showcase also came to awaken the formal interest of banknotes from Saudi Arabia, will have to swallow bitterly, turn the page expressly and maintain the football level on the pitch with the hope that in the next winter market in December it will be opened again an appropriate window to give the definitive leap.
