América in talks for Santiago Mingo, Argentine centre-back | OneFootball

We are just a couple of days away from the transfer window closing, so Club América’s board is racing against time to finalize their last signing for this Apertura 2026.

The Eagles’ intention is to sign a center back who can cover Sebastián Cáceres’ departure, and everything seems to indicate that they already have the ideal candidate to do so.

According to journalist César Merlo, Club América is in talks to sign Santiago Ramos Mingo, a 24-year-old Argentine center back who currently belongs to Bahía FC in Brazil’s Serie A.

At his current club, Santiago has remained an undisputed starter, totaling 88 matches played, with 15 goals scored, which is a solid number for a center back.

What’s happening with the interest in David Alaba?

Just a few hours ago, it was reported that América’s board was evaluating the signing of the former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich defender, who was offered by his agent as a free agent.

But the board apparently is not fully convinced, due to his current level and recent injuries, so they seem to be leaning toward the Argentine defender, Santiago Mingo.

The transfer window closes on September 11 at 11:59 PM, so any signing they complete will have to be before that date.
