Spartak Moscow has expressed interest in acquiring Chivas de Guadalajara midfielder Roberto Alvarado, though initial transfer attempts have failed. Chivas rejected an official offer of approximately $8 million, with the club seeking to retain the player for their title ambitions. Because Cruz Azul holds 50 percent of Alvarado’s rights, they would be entitled to half of any negotiated fee.

Following the closure of the current registration periods in both the Russian and Liga MX markets, negotiations have shifted toward the future. Reports indicate that Chivas would require at least $20 million to begin further discussions. While Alvarado has not authorized a move yet, he may be open to a transfer during the upcoming winter market if Spartak Moscow offers a salary equal to or higher than his current annual earnings of approximately $1.3 million.
