América eyeing return of a two-time champion | OneFootball

It has been three weeks since Club América was eliminated from the Apertura 2025, and to this day, we still have no news regarding new signings or departures.

The entire squad returned to training several days ago, but for now, it is exactly the same squad that was seen in the last tournament.

As happens in every transfer market, there are many rumors about players who might arrive or leave, and this time there is talk of the return of a player who was a two-time champion with the team.

Cristian Calderón could return to the Eagles.

According to information from Fox Sports and Mediotiempo, the Eagles' management is looking for a way to bring Cristian Calderón back for the next tournament.

It should be remembered that 'Chicote' was loaned to the Necaxa team for the last tournament, and the loan consists of one year with an option to buy, but the management is analyzing the clauses to try to break the loan and bring him back for this Clausura 2026.

Is Ralph Orquín leaving the team?

It's very curious what has happened, Ralph Orquín had a spectacular year with Juárez, which led the Americanista management to bring him back and in that same move, loan 'Chicote' Calderón.

But Orquín barely accumulated just under 300 minutes throughout the semester, with Cristian Borja being an undisputed starter, even being the player with the most minutes among all the squad.

All this situation makes us think that perhaps the coaching staff not only didn't like the player's level, but maybe there was something more, like a training method that didn't please them or something of the sort, because it's strange that he didn't accumulate more minutes and that after six months with the team, they are already looking for a way out for him.

We will see what happens, as we previously mentioned, there is nothing official regarding movements, and the intention is to have at most four departures and sign two or three reinforcements.
