América keen on Carlos Acevedo | OneFootball

Luis Ángel Malagón suffered an injury that will keep him off the field at least until 2027; if all goes well, he would return right at the start of the year.

For now, América’s goalkeepers are Rodolfo Cota and Fernando Tapia, with Cota being the undisputed starter at least for the remainder of the 2026 Clausura and the Concachampions.

But according to information from Roberto López Ólvera of Imagen TV, América’s board would be willing to pay the release clause of Carlos Acevedo, Santos’ goalkeeper, to bring him in for the next tournament.

The payment would be 3 million dollars, an amount that is not high at all for the club, and we know that América and Santos have a very good relationship, so it would not be a very complicated negotiation either.

Would he be a good signing for América?

On a more personal note, I wouldn’t be too pleased with his arrival. He is a good goalkeeper, but at the same time he makes mistakes that do not always affect the scoreboard, though they are there.

Ideally, Club América should renew Cota’s contract for one more year or, alternatively, give Fernando Tapia an opportunity, since he showed very good things at Querétaro, so with consistency he could be América’s goalkeeper of the future.

We will have to wait and see what happens, but the most likely scenario is that they renew Cota and he remains the starter throughout 2026.
