According to TUDN, Iván Tona’s proposed move from Xolos to Club América for the Apertura 2026 has collapsed, and a switch this window is now considered practically impossible.

The move had been widely tipped despite no official announcement from América, and it appeared only a matter of time.

The report said an agreement between the clubs had been in place, but an unspecified issue ultimately scuppered the deal.

Attention has turned to alternatives. The report added the board will sign a midfielder, billed as a major surprise for supporters.

That surprise is believed to be Luis Chávez, a Mexican midfielder América have chased since the window opened, though they have been unable to conclude terms.

With the clock ticking, América have until 11 September at 23:59, Central Mexico time, to complete any move for Chávez.
