Club América is waiting for the start of the Apertura 2025 playoffs in their upcoming match against Rayados.

But while this is happening, the board is analyzing reinforcements for the next season with a main objective: to strengthen the midfield with a player who can accompany Álvaro Fidalgo.

One of the big problems for André Jardine throughout this season has been that he hasn’t been able to find an ‘ideal’ partner for ‘Maguito’, as Jonathan dos Santos was in past tournaments.

He has tried different players and even ended up putting Israel Reyes there, and while it worked, it wasn’t what the coaching staff expected.

There are three possible reinforcements in sight.

According to reports, the board has its eye on three possible reinforcements to play in that position.

The first is Agustín Palavecino, a Necaxa midfielder who has had very good seasons and is already being sought after by several teams in Mexico such as Tigres and Cruz Azul, in addition to América.

Another option is Brian Gutiérrez, a young midfielder from Chicago with a profile similar to Fidalgo’s and only 22 years old, with Mexican-American nationality, so bringing him in for internal competition would be a great move.

And the last option that has been mentioned is the return of Guido Rodríguez. The former Águilas player has not had a good time at West Ham United, getting very few minutes, and is already looking for a team for the winter transfer window; it is said that he was offered to América, but the board is analyzing it due to his age and high cost.

For now, these are the players rumored to join the team. If they do a good job, two of the three mentioned could even arrive, and they would be very good reinforcements.
