América could lose several players ahead of Apertura 2026

Club América added yet another failure after being eliminated from the Concacaf Champions Cup in the Quarterfinals by Nashville.

This caused a lot of frustration both within the management and for the team’s owner, Emilio Azcárraga, so it is very likely that we will see many changes ahead of the next tournament.

Just today, Emilio Azcárraga showed up at Coapa to speak with the management, players, and coaching staff, and he made it clear that if they do not win the championship, there will be many changes to the team.

On ESPN, journalist Leon Lecanda pointed to several players who have one foot out the door at Las Águilas, and they would be the following:

Rodolfo Cota: América’s current starting goalkeeper is coming to the end of his contract, and the idea is to renew him for one more year, but the final decision will be up to the goalkeeper.
Néstor Araujo: His contract is ending and he is leaving América.
Ralph Orquín: Same case as Araujo.
Kevin Álvarez: He has received many opportunities and simply has not worked out; he has one foot out of América.
Sebastián Cáceres: They will make it easy for him to leave for European soccer, and considering that he is going to be a starter at the World Cup, it is very likely that several offers will come in.
Cristian Borja: He is no longer in the plans, and they consider it a position that can be greatly improved.
Jonathan dos Santos: It will be the player’s decision, as there is talk that he could retire.
Alexis Gutiérrez: They paid a large amount of money for him and he never worked out. He is leaving.
Israel Reyes: He was promised they would listen to offers for him after the World Cup.
Brian Rodríguez: Same case as Israel Reyes.
Henry Martín: Everything will depend on how he recovers from his injury.
Víctor Dávila: His return to the field is expected in 2027, but he is no longer in the team’s plans.
Raúl Zúñiga: They bought him after he finished as top scorer, and he ended up being a total disappointment. He is leaving the team.
Thiago Espinosa: He did not convince the coaching staff, and his stay will depend on whether a new head coach arrives.
Aarón Mejía: With Dagoberto Espinoza returning, there is no place for him on the team.
