André Jardine confirms one departure and another signing | OneFootball

For several weeks now, there has been talk about the possible departure of Igor Lichnovsky, but officially there was nothing on this matter; in fact, the player has been training alongside the rest of the group.

However, in a press conference prior to the debut in the Clausura 2026, André Jardine spoke about this situation and emphasized that he was the ‘sacrificed’ one in order to register Rodrigo Dourado.

“We have to acknowledge all the work Igor Lichnovsky has done; he was very important in the first titles. But today it was important to take out a center back and add another holding midfielder,” were the words of the América coach.

They are looking for one more reinforcement.

In the same press conference, André Jardine confirmed that the board is working on bringing in one more player, whom he described as ‘important’.

According to reports that have come out in recent weeks, the intention is to move Víctor Dávila out and bring in a player who can play as an attacking midfielder; it was even mentioned that he would be in the style of Diego Valdés.

We’ll have to wait and see who that last reinforcement could be, but it is important that they strengthen that area, since since Valdés’s departure, there hasn’t been anyone who can take his place.
