Chivas leads Liga MX squad valuation

In mid‑July 2026, Transfermarkt reported that Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas) had a squad valuation of US$126.3 million, making it the most valuable team in Mexico’s Liga MX and the wider CONCACAF region. The rise was linked to recent signings such as Jordan Carrillo and Kevin Castañeda, and the club’s top‑valued player was listed as midfielder Armando González.

Two weeks later, the same source gave a revised estimate of roughly €108‑110 million (about US$115‑120 million) for Chivas, confirming its position as the highest‑valued squad ahead of the Apertura 2026 season. The updated figure reflected the impact of the 2026 World Cup performances and additional acquisitions, including winger Jordan Carrillo, forward Armando González, midfielder Roberto Alvarado and defender Brian Gutiérrez. Both reports underscore Chivas’s financial lead over traditional rivals such as América, Toluca, Cruz Águilas and Tigres.
