Tigres considers player changes and Memphis Depay pursuit

Mexican club Tigres is reportedly considering several roster adjustments. According to Mexican media, the club may seek to terminate the loan of Argentine defender Alan Franco early, which could result in his return to São Paulo. Franco, who joined Tigres on loan in July 2026, is currently under contract with São Paulo until December 2028.

Additionally, Tigres is planning for the long term following the departure of club icon André-Pierre Gignac in April 2026. The club is reportedly evaluating international stars to fill the offensive void, with Corinthians attacker Memphis Depay emerging as a potential candidate for 2027. While Depay has been offered to the club and has interested the board, negotiations would be complex due to his recent contract renewal with the Brazilian side.
