Just today, the Apertura 2026 will get underway for Club América with an away visit to Querétaro in the match that will close out Matchday 1 of the tournament.

But while that happens, the board (slowly but surely) continues working with the intention of signing the reinforcements Guillermo Almada has requested, remembering that he asked for between 4 and 5 additions.

There have been many names, but one piece of information that came as a surprise is that one of the signings they are looking for is a left back; keeping in mind that in that position they have Cristian Borja, Franco Rossano, and they just let Thiago Espinosa leave.

Who will be the left back that arrives?

According to information from journalist Gibrán Araige of TUDN, there are two players who are the main options to join América in the coming days.

Lucas Esquivel, a 24-year-old Argentine player who currently belongs to Athletico Paranaense of Brazil’s Serie A, is one of the options to join Las Águilas this season.

The other name on the shortlist is Juninho Capixaba, another player from Brazil’s Serie A, but this time we are talking about a “more experienced” fullback at 29 years old and of Brazilian nationality.

According to the aforementioned journalist, one of them will be Las Águilas’ reinforcement, and it is expected to be made official soon.
