Mexican media TUDN reports that the trail leading to the 26-year-old Cruz Azul player is serious, with some details remaining to be finalized.

AS Monaco has already lost Aladji Bamba, who left for Newcastle for over €40 million as exclusively revealed. Still in the same area of the pitch, a departure of Lamine Camara is not out of the question, as he is being courted following his strong season on the Rock. The club's management is therefore considering reinforcements in midfield.
According to Mexican media TUDN, the trail leading to Erik Lira (26 years old) is quite serious. The outlet reports that "some details remain to be settled to finalize his transfer." For its part, L'Equipe is more cautious. The Cruz Azul player, who is under contract until June 2029 and started for El Tri during the World Cup, has so far only been the subject of inquiries.
