Club América's ins and outs for the Apertura 2026

A transfer window has come to an end that went from bad to good for Club América, with a very weak start and a lot of slowness from the board in getting the signings done, but it ended up being one of the best windows in recent years.

Las Águilas closed the window with seven arrivals and 14 departures, with signings that were very necessary, and the vast majority of departures were players who no longer had anything to contribute at Club América.

América’s arrivals:

Óscar Perea (Permanent transfer) – A Colombian winger who arrived from Racing Strasbourg in France.
Edwin Cerrillo (Permanent transfer) – A Mexican-American midfielder who arrived from LA Galaxy of MLS.
Miguel Borja (Permanent transfer) – A Colombian center forward who arrived from Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates.
Carlos Álvarez (Permanent transfer) – A Spanish attacking midfielder who arrived from Levante UD of Spain.
Santiago Mingo (Permanent transfer) – An Argentine center back who arrived from Bahia FC of Brazil.
Santiago Bueno (Loan) – A Uruguayan center back who arrived from Wolverhampton in England.

Las Águilas’ departures:

Néstor Araujo – His contract expired and he signed with Chaves of the Portuguese League.
Ralph Orquín – His contract expired and he signed with Cruz Azul.
Jonathan dos Santos – Retired from professional football.
Vinícius Lima – América terminated the loan, and he is now at Santos in Brazil.
Aarón Mejía – Las Águilas terminated the loan; he returned to Xolos.
Rodrigo Dourado – Was loaned to Juárez.
Thiago Espinosa – Was loaned to Peñarol of Uruguay.
Esteban Lozano – Was loaned to Santos.
Miguel Ramírez – Was loaned to Coyotes de Tlaxcala of Liga de Expansión.
Patricio Salas – Was loaned to Famalicao of Portugal.
Sebastián Cáceres – Was sold to Celta de Vigo of Spain.
Santiago Naveda – Terminated his contract to sign with Venados de Mérida.
José Zúñiga – Was left off the roster due to an injury.
Ícaro da Conceicao – Was left off the roster to be sent to the U-21 team.

As for Ícaro da Conceicao’s departure, it was a “strange” decision since it was not necessary to free up that foreign-player spot to register the new signings, but that also does not prevent us from continuing to see him with the first team.
