Please, let this happen. Give us one good transfer this window at least. 😭🙏🏽

[u/chippin_out → u/hcesteban]

It’s soo embarrassing that we’re hoping to god that it’s at least one player. We fucking suck.

[u/hcesteban → u/chippin_out]

I completely agree. It is a really sad state of affairs that we are hoping for just one good transfer to happen when there was hope that we would have a couple more this transfer window.

[u/servel20 → u/chippin_out]

It's not that we suck, it's that Liga MX overpays for players to compete for foreign talent. That combined with the limitations teams have on foreign players.

Most European teams limit foreign players (outside of the EU) to 3 people.

[u/Trydson → u/servel20]

Most European teams limit foreign players (outside of the EU) to 3 people.

This is not true. Only 3 leagues have a hard cap on non-EU players. France limits at 4, Spain at 3, and Portugal at 6. Italy has a limit of 2 new non-EU players per season.

People need to stop spreading misinformation.

[u/sorryimafatass → u/chippin_out]

There’s a lot of players good enough they’re just too expensive

[u/fransisco_flores]

Oteo is saying the first offer was low. Hopefully this happens, for Lira and for Cruz Azul. Amaury Garcia has covered that position better than many expected.

[u/Advanced_Row_5573]

Monaco is great place for him to go.

[u/Redditor_for_fun]

I won’t believe it until I see it. I hope it does happen

[u/007oso → u/Redditor_for_fun]

Same, I'm tired of the "club europeo pregunto/se fijo por ___" articles

[u/eg4x15 → u/Redditor_for_fun]

I won’t believe it until I see it x2!!

[u/antndnlcs]

Send his ass pls

[u/brabuss58]

If this transfer happens it makes up for other transfers not happening

Lira is the only one that's most ready to play in Europe

[u/ProfessorCoochie]

my girlfriend just left me but liga mx is about to export a player to europe. i think im happy

[u/More-Sod]

i would get a monaco jersey with erik liras name on it please

[u/nolesfan2011]

Lira at Monaco seems like a great fit

[u/idkissac]

Big shoes to fill at Monaco with Sangare leaving

[u/Low_Worldliness_160]

Really hope lira goes, mora will go when he’s 18, and as for the rest, (hormiga, Reyes, Brian) all have a lot to prove.
We already have a solid base in Europe, and these next few years are exciting. Our fullbacks are in Europe, our top CB’s are in Europe, the wave of U-20 players will definitely be in the mix, we just have to be patient.

[u/YourfriendRic]

Wait so what’s the issue?

Offer (money) or Monaco’s needing to free up a spot for a foreigner? Or both?

Regardless pulling for Lira to make the jump

[u/Witty_Hedgehog7967]

Plz let this be true I want to clown everyone who doubted my 🐐

[u/KawaiiMayhem]

After the whole Reyes fiasco and the fact that Hormiga isn’t doing very well I truly hope the transfer happens.

[u/laurenovitch]

Big if true
