The Spanish club, stuck at the bottom of LaLiga with just nine points, believes Montiel can provide immediate solutions for a midfield that has struggled to execute head coach Luis Carrión’s game plan. The deal, moving quickly thanks to Grupo Pachuca’s shared structure, is expected to be a loan with a purchase option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/this-liga-mx-star-may-be-about-to-make-the-leap-to-europe-f202511-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Liga MX gears up for its return after the FIFA international break. Pachuca, Pumas, FC Juárez, and Club Tijuana are all fighting for a spot in the Apertura 2025 playoffs through the play-in. However, &lt;b&gt;several key players from these squads are likely to miss out &lt;/b&gt;due to their involvement in recent international fixtures. Among them, Pumas look set to be the most depleted side because of its national team call-ups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.as.com/soccer/big-names-are-missing-from-the-apertura-2025-play-in-f202511-n/" target="_blank"&gt;Seguir leyendo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
