América VERY close to sealing a second signing | OneFootball

Club América has been moving very slowly in the transfer market; it was only a few days ago that the arrival of their first signing was announced, and that was Óscar Perea, coming from French football.

But it seems the front office has woken up, and everything indicates they are just details away from signing their second reinforcement for this Apertura 2026 and the Leagues Cup.

According to TUDN, Edwin Cerrillo, a 25-year-old Mexican-American midfielder, is practically a done deal as a Club América signing, and they even point out that he will make his debut this Thursday when they open their Leagues Cup 2026 campaign.

Who is Edwin Cerrillo?

Edwin Cerrillo is a 25-year-old midfielder with dual Mexican-American nationality, and he has spent his entire career in MLS with the LA Galaxy; his only European experience was a month in Germany training with Bayern Munich, although he was unable to stay with the German giant.

What will he bring to América?

There is currently no player with those qualities in the squad; we are talking about a midfielder with a good touch and strong ball control, very much in the style of Jonathan dos Santos and Álvaro Fidalgo, a profile that the current América squad does not have.

If he manages to adapt, he will become a very interesting signing and could even contribute a lot, despite arriving with a low profile.
