The director of personnel, Brian Bliss, recognized a follow-up to Macías and recognized the search for a striker to replace Alan Pulido

Mexican striker José Juan Macías is of interest to Sporting Kansas City of the MLS, as the team is looking for a replacement for Alan Pulido, who will miss much of the 2022 season due to injury.

The director of player personnel, Brian Bliss, acknowledged that they have followed Macías closely., who terminated his contract this Friday with Getafe in Spain by not entering the plans of coach Quique Sánchez Flores. Macías arrived in Spain supported by coach Michel González, but since the helmsman’s dismissal the Mexican has not been considered by the first team.

We know the player very well, he did well in Mexico, in Concacaf with the Sub 17, with the Sub 20 team, the Olympic team, we know that he has a contract with Getafe on loanI’m not sure about the player’s current situation, we know about his abilities, he’s a quality player, he’s at a very good age, but that’s the only thing I can say about it,” he told Goal.

Bliss mentioned that the team’s priority is to look for the center forward who can fill the space that he will leave in the coming months Alan Pulido.

We are only looking for a player, he is the striker, the scorer, we have an open place, budget space and that’s number 9 for the season, to help make up for the loss of Alan, we hope to close the player and come before the season. Unfortunately, time has passed, we know that we are going to have all the players in the season, not in preseason, so we are doing well”, he explained.

In the same way, the manager stated that they will seek to close their center forward in the next three weeks. “We have a good group. We hope in the next three weeks to have a new ‘9’ for the season. The expectations of the team, the fans, the owners is to be at the top of the season”, he concluded.
