    It's a bit of a nonsensical rumor, but it should be documented properly:

    Rumor: Chivas Interested in Jesse Gonzalez
    Despite their Mexico only policy, Chivas is said to be interested in the FC Dallas Homegrown.

    I'm not really clear on what the exact Chivas rule is. Either Jesse can play for Chivas because he does have Mexican citizenship, but would be forced to give up USMNT eligibility while under contract. Or, he's totally ineligible for Chivas because he would have to be eligible for El Tri. Perhaps it's the case that Chivas are willing to bend it (it's their own silly rule, after all) if they want. Anyway, I'd say he'd be crazy to go there unless Chivas pay him unusually well, and even then he'd be pretty crazy to. He and his agent know that the future of the USMNT keeper position is rather wide open and performances like yesterday's are putting him in the running: https://streamable.com/ejfmt

    Really if we are being reasonable he is Top 5 for the position.

    There's no doubt. He'll be forced to leave because MLS terminating his contract eliminates him from all of MLS.

    Sounds like the negotiations with Xelaju broke down:



    Amarini Villatoro wanted Kevin Moscoso (several thousand dollar clause) or Jesse Gonzalez (goalkeeper broke off the negotiation). By ruling them out, Panamanian José Calderón, 36, would be the option for the Xelajú MC goats at this time.

    Is their GK jersey a wife-beater?
