América sells ‘Chicote’ Calderón to another Mexican giant | OneFootball

‘Chicote’ Calderón arrived at América on January 3, 2024 in a signing that was very controversial and criticized by América fans, since his previous club had been Chivas, a club that no longer wanted to keep him and let him go on a free.

But during his time at América, he was a player who contributed a lot to the team and was an important part of a back-to-back championship run, being the undisputed starter at left-back.

Later, the club decided to loan him to Necaxa, where he had an average spell without really standing out, and when it seemed like he would return to América, the current coaching staff decided he was not in their plans.

Pumas bought his rights from América.

Journalist César Merlo reports that Pumas has decided to acquire Cristian Calderón’s rights, and that only the player’s signature is missing before they can announce him officially.

On several occasions, ‘Chicote’ showed his desire to return to Las Águilas, but it is clear that this will not become a reality for him, as the coaching staff considered Cristian Borja, Franco Rossano, and Thiago Espinosa to be better options in that position.
