América’s transfer market activity has been practically nonexistent; even though they make their debut in the 2026 Apertura tomorrow, the team managed by Guillermo Almada still has not added a single reinforcement.

But the rumors about players who could arrive continue, and today the backup plan América has to sign its center forward was revealed.

It has been known for some time that Las Águilas are interested in striker Borja Iglesias of Celta de Vigo, but because he is still competing with the Spanish National Team in the World Cup, negotiations have not been able to move forward.

Because of this, the club’s board already has a ‘plan B,’ and it would be Rayo Vallecano striker Alemao.

Will the former Pachuca striker arrive at América?

Alemao is a Brazilian-born striker who has played for several clubs, and although many may not remember, he had a brief spell at Pachuca that lasted only two months before moving to Spanish football.

He currently plays for Rayo Vallecano, where he appeared in 40 matches last season and scored eight goals; a number that is not very encouraging for a center forward.

But according to Fox Sports, Alemao is the manager Guillermo Almada’s recommendation, since he is a striker he knows and considers ideal for América’s attack.

We will see what happens; for now there is no talk of any kind of negotiation, but it seems he is another option for América’s attack.
