⚠️It’s official, Chivas starlet says goodbye as he heads to León

The management of Club León has finalized an agreement with Club Deportivo Guadalajara to bring Abraham Villegas into their ranks. The left-back, coming from Tapatío of the Liga de Expansión MX, will join the Esmeralda team for the upcoming season.

According to journalists César Luis Merlo and Francisco Montes, the defender will arrive at León on a one-year loan with an option to buy. The transfer is expected to be made official in the coming hours, as Villegas has already bid farewell to his teammates at Tapatío.

A Consolidated Talent in Expansion

Villegas, 22, was one of the standout players for Tapatío during the Apertura 2025 Tournament. The left-back accumulated 988 minutes in 13 matches, 11 of them as a starter. His strong performance even sparked rumors about his possible consideration for the preseason of Chivas' first team, where coach Gabriel Milito was looking for reinforcement in that position.

The young left-back began his professional career at Toluca, where he played 102 matches with the Under-19 team and 55 with the Under-21 team. Although he only played six matches with the first team of the Escarlatas in 2023, last summer he joined Chivas to be part of the Tapatío squad, from where he now makes the leap to the First Division with León.
