Jesús Aldo de Nigris Guajardo (born 22 July 1983 in Monterrey, Nuevo León) is a Mexican footballer who plays as a striker for Monterrey in the Liga MX and the Mexico national team.
He started his career at the youth divisions of Tigres UANL. Tigres UANL, the biggest rival of CF Monterrey, debuted him on first division. Aldo played some irregular seasons with Tigres, Veracruz and Necaxa until he arrived to Monterrey. In the first game after his brother's death he dedicated his only goal to him in an Apertura 2009 playoff game against América on 21 November 2009 in the second minute of the second half. He then scored two goals against Toluca in the semi-final. He also scored in the final against Cruz Azul, giving Monterrey the lead, and eventually dedicating the winning championship to his late brother.
A year later, Aldo would win his second league title with Monterrey, this time against Santos Laguna. On 27 April 2011, Monterrey won the CONCACAF Champions League, where they defeated MLS club Real Salt Lake in the final. De Nigris was their top goal scorer, with four, tied with teammate Humberto Suazo
On 1 July 2013 Aldo signed with C.D. Guadalajara for 5 million dollars until June 30, 2016. He made his debut with the club on 18 August 2013 in a home match against Puebla F.C..
