América ‘to eye’ Alejandro Gómez and Eduardo Águila to replace Sebastián Cáceres | OneFootball

Club América have received a significant bid from Celta de Vigo for centre-back Sebastián Cáceres, the 27-year-old Uruguayan who referenced the move a day earlier. All indications are that the offer will be accepted and his exit could be confirmed in the coming days.

He would depart after six years at the club, with only days left in the transfer window. TUDN reports that América have two Liga MX options to replace him.

The first is Alejandro Gómez, a 24-year-old Mexican centre-back who is an undisputed starter for Tijuana.

The second is Eduardo Águila, also 24 and Mexican, a regular in Atlético de San Luis's defence.

Prioritising Mexican-based defenders is a short-term play, given there is little time for a foreign signing to adapt. A final decision is expected once the exit of Cáceres is confirmed, potentially before the weekend.
