Carlos Gruezo
30-Year-Old
Santos Laguna
Liga MX
Moves to Santos Laguna
Gruezo will play for Santos Laguna in the Clausura 2026 campaign after concluding his contract with Ecuadorian side LDU Quito, his new club announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gruezo has featured as a defensive midfielder for teams such as Stuttgart and Augsburg in Germany, and FC Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes in MLS. He has also represented Ecuador in 65 games, appearing in two World Cups and four Copa America tournaments. While he's likely to secure a starting position in the Saints' lineup, he could face a tough competition from the also experienced Javier Guemez, or possibly play alongside him in a double pivot. In any case, Gruezo should be a source of passes and defensive numbers.
