Alan Pulido

Alan Pulido Izaguirre (born 8 March 1991) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a striker for Liga MX club Guadalajara.

Pulido began his career at Tigres UANL, having his professional debut in 2009. Contractual disagreements with the club led to his absence from the 2014 Apertura tournament. In February 2015, Pulido moved abroad to join Greek club Levadiakos, before signing for Olympiacos in the summer of that year. The following season, he won the Greek Super League. In August 2016, he joined Guadalajara for what was then a club-record fee of US$7.15 million. Winning the league Double, the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League, and various individual accolades, in December 2019, Pulido transferred to Sporting Kansas City, a move which set a new transfer record for the club.

Pulido represented the under-20, under-23, and senior Mexico national teams. He was called up to participate in the 2011 Copa América, the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Pulido started his career at the youth academy of Tigres UANL. He made his professional debut on 20 June 2009 in a SuperLiga match against MLS side Chivas USA, scoring his first goal in the 11th minute.

On 27 February 2010, Pulido made his Liga MX debut coming on as a substitute after the half-time break in the 0–3 defeat to Monarcas Morelia. He scored his first league goal on 13 April 2011 in the 4–2 win over Pachuca at the Estadio Universitario.

Pulido scored the third goal in the 3–1 second-leg victory of the 2011 Apertura Final against Santos Laguna on 11 December, winning his first league title and helping secure the club's third league title, the first in over thirty years. Throughout the tournament, Pulido was subdued to a substitute role, behind first-choice striker Héctor Mancilla, and received limited playing time.

He was a pivotal piece in the club's winning of the Clausura 2014 Copa MX, where he finished with the tournament's top scorer, scoring 11 times within 10 matches.

After participating with the Mexico national football team at the 2014 World Cup, Pulido was meant to rejoin Tigres to prepare for the upcoming 2014 Apertura tournament. After alleged interest from several European clubs, among them Greek side Olympiacos, Pulido stated that his contract with Tigres had ended and was thus a free agent, though club personnel claimed Pulido had signed a contract extension that would keep him with the club until June 2016. Pulido did not attend any of the club's pre-season training sessions and was separated from the first team and sent to train with the reserves as a result, with Pulido also failing to appear at the training sessions. He subsequently did not participate in the Apertura tournament.
