Rubio Rubin could leave MLS and return to Mexico
Rubin, currently at MLS side Real Salt Lake, is being linked with a move to Liga MX.
Rubio Rubin could be making a move in 2024. The striker, who is a Guatemala international, is on the radar of Querétaro, according to sources consulted by ESPN.
Rubin, who is under contract with MLS side Real Salt Lake, has already begun negotiations with the Mexican club, one of the worst teams in last season’s Liga MX, finishing 14th in the standings.
The Guatemalan only scored two goals with the North American team last term, having played 24 games, 15 of them as a starter, in the shadow of Cristian Arango, who in less game time scored six goals for the club.
Return to Mexico
Should negotiations be finalised, Rubin would be joining his third Mexican club, following spells with Xolos de Tijuana and Dorados de Sinaloa, the latter in the Liga de Expansión, formerly known as Ascenso MX.
With Sinaloa, he played 43 games in which he scored just seven goals, while with Tijuana, he played just 21 games, scoring one goal in his spell on the border.
Despite being born in the city of Beaverton, in the state of Oregon, Rubio has Mexican and Guatemalan nationality. Guatemala is the country where his mother was born and which he decided to represent after making the switch from the United States to Guatemala.
