American midfielder and defender Richy Ledezma is making his way back to North America from Europe, reports have revealed.
states the 24-year-old is set to join Liga MX side Chivas Guadalajara this summer, after his contract with Dutch first division side PSV Eindhoven expires. By joining Chivas, he will become one of the few Americans to play for them, given the club’s commitment to only featuring Mexican citizens.
Ledezma has been at PSV since 2020, but has not featured as regularly as many had hoped, scoring twice in 38 appearances for the Eredivisie club, while also being sent out on loan in 2023 to New York City FC.
reported that PSV had offered Ledezma an extension, but that he opted to hop back over the Atlantic and sign a four-year deal with the Mexican giants.
Fellow Liga MX side Club América as well as other European clubs had reported interest in bringing him in, but were not able to lure him away from Chivas.
While Ledezma looks to be on his way to joining Chivas, his international future remains unclear. He has represented the U.S. men’s national team at the senior level once, in a friendly against Panama in November 2024, and has also played for the American youth national teams.
