América close to signing Álvaro Fidalgo’s replacement | OneFootball

We are just two days away from the transfer window closing in Mexico, and the management is racing against time to sign their last reinforcements for the Clausura 2026.

And everything seems to indicate that they are very close to finalizing the player who will come in to fill the void left by Álvaro Fidalgo, and the chosen one would be Vinicius Lima, midfielder from Fluminense of Brazil.

Vinicius is a player who plays in the same position as Álvaro, although with somewhat different qualities, being a player with slightly more offensive characteristics.

He is 29 years old and has spent most of his career in Brazil, being an undisputed starter with Fluminense, and was even part of the team that won the Copa Libertadores in the 2022/2023 season.

The information comes from the Brazilian newspaper ‘Globo‘, which reports that the negotiation is advanced and consists of a loan with a mandatory purchase option, in a deal very similar to the one we saw with Raphael Veiga.

An agreement is expected to be reached today so that at the latest, tomorrow he can be officially announced by both clubs.

It is interesting that, finally, it seems the coaching staff has a say in deciding the signings, and with him, there would be three Brazilian players at Club América, remembering that before Dourado’s arrival, five years had passed without any players of that nationality in the squad.
