Out-of-favour Chivas Guadalajara winger Alexis Vega has reportedly turned down a move to MLS franchise San Jose Earthquakes.

Fox Sports journalist Rodrigo Camacho says the Earthquakes agreed a deal with Chivas, but were rebuffed by Vega, who would only be interested in moving to the US to join a bigger-name team.

Vega would only join Miami, Galaxy – Fox report

Speaking on the Fox Sports TV show La Última Palabra (‘The Last Word’), Camacho said: “[San Jose] approached Guadalajara and came to an agreement. The exact ps haven’t come to light, but a deal was put in place for Vega to move to MLS.

“But when San Jose Earthquakes approached Vega to discuss personal terms, that’s when Vega said no.”

Camacho added: “He’s only interested in going to MLS if a team like Inter Miami comes in for him, or if he can go to Los Angeles to play for LA Galaxy.”

Vega is currently training away from Chivas’ first-team group and was left out of the club’s two pre-season friendlies, as Fernando Gago’s men prepare for the Liga MX’s Clausura 2024 tournament.

Although it appears Vega won’t be moving to San Jose, Chivas are close to sealing a deal to take USMNT winger Cade Cowell in the opposite direction.

The 12-time Mexican champions are expected to pay around $4 million for Cowell, 20.
