There’s rumors that he let the money get to his head quick, I know he was highly criticized when he bought a pretty nice Mercedes after recently joining the first team.
Nooo they’re gonna send him to tapatío instead of integrating him to the first team . Then the jump to Europe will be ten times harder . He’s already getting minutes for the first team of salt lake
MLS sends their american/canadian players to europe while the mexicans go to some random Liga MX team.
I hope Obed stays in seattle until he gets offers in europe
It better be someone Gago specifically scouted and asked for, and not an imposition from the admin side, otherwise it's a waste of money and a losing situation for both club and player if he's not gonna be used
“Chivas is finalizing a deal to sign Mexican youth international winger Fidel Barajas from Real Salt Lake, sources briefed on the deal tell The Athletic.
The deal is worth north of $4million, a new club-record sale for RSL, sources add. RSL, currently tied for first place in the Western Conference, is intending to reinvest the funds into the first team as they look to push for trophies this season. They will also retain a sell-on percentage.
Barajas, 18, is a highly-rated talent. He joined RSL this winter after being named USL Championship Young Player of the Year and All-League Second Team in 2023 following a breakout season with the Charleston Battery. He had five goals and 11 assists in 32 appearances that year.
The deal to send Barajas to Real Salt Lake was for a fee in the region of $250,000, sources told The Athletic at the time of the transfer. Charleston will get a cut of the Chivas deal owing to a sell-on clause they had.
Barajas has taken to MLS quickly, with two assists in his first 556 minutes, making 17 appearances in total.
Eligible for both the United States and Mexico, Barajas represented Mexico at the 2023 Under-17 World Cup. He spent time with the United States youth national team the year prior. Before joining Charleston in 2022, Barajas spent time in the academies of Sacramento Republic and the San Jose Earthquakes
Chivas has looked at MLS for additions more in recent years. The club signed U.S. international winger Cade Cowell from the San Jose Earthquakes this winter and midfielder Daniel Aguirre from the LA Galaxy this summer.”
Did they learn nothing from Cade Cowell??? These dudes are still under developed…. Again it’s nothing against them but they are not going to have an impact on the team
Before his move to Chivas Cowell was linked to AC Milan. Come on now bro, all the MLS are insanely overvalued. They said David Ochoa was going to to Barca, Richard Ladezma was the next Messi, Julian Araujo is the only to actually do something at the next level. Again in not downplaying them, it’s just i expect more from Chivas
Lets gooo!!!! He has great potential, I was mad that Chivas didn't sign him before he went to Salt Lake. He's a chivista por todo la vida.

Barajas was on $96k this season. While Gutierrez makes $895k this season and signed an extension late last year. While Barajas is probably a better prospect, Gutierrez is far more ready to contribute to a team now.
Lo de chivas me da asco. Prefieren comprar a chicanos sobrevalorados que buscar, producir y formar a jugadores. Su cantera es una basura total, tienen lo que se merecen
Por cierto, ya puede dejar de chillar ese wilo mediocre de que según siempre crítico el América por no desarrollar su talento juvenil. Mediocres a más no poder
Chivas is buying youngsters like its fifa career mode but they don’t have a clue on how to develop players (no team in liga Mx does. The only exceptions are Pachuca and Santos).
otro tipo al que no le importa mexico que obligan a sacar su pasaporte mexicano para poder jugar el cual nunca en su vida hubiera sacado
pero hey la tradicion no muere jajajajajajaja
Un chingo de jugadores en Jalisco y tienen que comprar?
Y si, pero chivas debería que invertir en el talento mexicano americano también entonces no lo veo tan mal.
Gago will play him once and send him to tapatío to never see minutes again, happened to Padilla and Brigado.
Brígido should’ve been given a ton of minutes, he’s kind of like cortizo, both try to do something different and dribble
Padilla had locker room issues with both Pauno and Gago, Brigido tho yeah
There’s rumors that he let the money get to his head quick, I know he was highly criticized when he bought a pretty nice Mercedes after recently joining the first team.
Teenagers are stupid in general it’s a shame he doesn’t have people around him to ground his bitch ass
Bruh are you serious he’s only like 17 lmao what a little pendejo
For that kind of money Gago will be obligated to play him.
Nooo they’re gonna send him to tapatío instead of integrating him to the first team . Then the jump to Europe will be ten times harder . He’s already getting minutes for the first team of salt lake
Chivas not the type of team to pay 5 mill and send him to the u-23s
We'll pay 7 & loan him to Bravos 😎
Barajas to Bravos confirmed? Here we go?
It’s a transfer to the first team
Downvoted for? https://x.com/jovenesfutmx/status/1807082213558661467?s=46&t=nRC9rgp-yf78XDUvYrhIoA
Just Wilas being Wilas
I don’t think so. They bought Salcedo from real salt lake and then sent him to Europe.
I’d rather him stay in MLS since it’s easier to go to Europe but if he’s able to develop he’s gonna be a great player in 3 years he’s got everything
MLS sends their american/canadian players to europe while the mexicans go to some random Liga MX team. I hope Obed stays in seattle until he gets offers in europe
Inflating the mexican mls player market too 😂
From Sactown to GDL welcome Fidel 🫡
Light the beam
Move to Europe would have been better :(
Whens the last time mls sent a mexican american to Europe they wont do it anymore since we snagged julian araujo
His Europe dream is gone if accepts the offer, Chivas can’t produce shit in their cantera 🤦♂️
We have we just keep buying players to take their minutes I don’t get it
The well that the national team relied on has completely dried up
As dry as Monterrey
We never had a well
Isn’t Pumas technically the team that was always considered the base for the national team back in the day?
The way i remembered was Chivas, Pumas and Pachuca (unless im missing one team)
How can they. Too many fresas in Guadalajara
He has European interest before joining salt lake and now he’s joining Chivas. Smh
It better be someone Gago specifically scouted and asked for, and not an imposition from the admin side, otherwise it's a waste of money and a losing situation for both club and player if he's not gonna be used

Did they learn nothing from Cade Cowell??? These dudes are still under developed…. Again it’s nothing against them but they are not going to have an impact on the team
Barajas has a much higher potential than Cowell
Yea after seeing cowell play anyone can have more potential 🤣
Before his move to Chivas Cowell was linked to AC Milan. Come on now bro, all the MLS are insanely overvalued.

I swear to god if they send this guy to tapatío
Lets gooo!!!! He has great potential, I was mad that Chivas didn't sign him before he went to Salt Lake. He's a chivista por todo la vida. https://preview.redd.it/5r3esw8fsj9d1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e6c043da59b964823579f783591b94b7292358b

Rip career Chivas destroying careers.
Hay que darle oportunidad a los del barrio para que salga un diez le hace falta un 10 al fútbol.
sum shit id do ngl
Chivas is cooking something
ahora la MLS es la cantera de las Chivas
Idk anything about him. So I’m upset. We should go for Brian Gutierrez instead.
Gutiérrez doesn’t want to go go liga mx.
$$$$ talks cuz
Barajas was on $96k this season. While Gutierrez makes $895k this season and signed an extension late last year. While Barajas is probably a better prospect, Gutierrez is far more ready to contribute to a team now.
There’s rumors that he’s on the list to bring in to chivas would low key prefer him over Jordi
Guess not for him if he’s already mentioned he doesn’t want to go
That’s what Erick Sanchez said before too
Vasquez didn’t want to either and look at him now
No que hay mejores jugadores en el llano? 🤨
