Carranza at Necaxa: A Promising Start
Julian Carranza, the Argentine forward from the Philadelphia Union, returned to Club Necaxa in 2024 and is already making his mark. In his first matches, he scored two goals in two consecutive wins for Necaxa, including a 2-1 victory over a rival. Although he was sent off after 45 minutes in a match, he managed to score a goal before leaving the field. His performance has been crucial for the team in the Liga MX.
The Union's Future: Possible Return?
Despite his success at Necaxa, the Philadelphia Union could attempt to re-sign Carranza, but his valuation exceeds $5 million. This figure would likely break the club's transfer record, making a move unlikely in the short term. However, the arrival of other former players like Kai Wagner and Mark McKenzie has sparked speculation about potential re-signings.
Other Former Players Abroad
While Carranza adapts in Mexico, other former Union players have found success in Europe. Brenden Aaronson leads Leeds United with two goals and two assists in four games, while Samuel Adeniran has been decisive at LASK, scoring 15 goals in 35 matches during the 2025/26 season.
