Club América’s transfer market deadline is turning into complete madness. After spending a couple of months with no news at all, with only very sporadic arrivals and an incomplete squad, the board finally got its act together and is building a great roster.

Now the signing of Santiago Bueno has been confirmed, a Uruguayan center-back arriving from Wolverhampton in England in a deal consisting of a one-year loan with an option to buy.

27-year-old Santiago Ignacio Bueno Sciutto has spent practically his entire career in European football, playing in FC Barcelona’s youth academy before moving on to Girona FC and, most recently, Wolverhampton.

What will he bring to Club América?

The signing of Santiago Bueno is very interesting, mainly because his traits would allow him to adapt very well to playing alongside the other recent signing, Santiago Mingo.

If both players adapt, they could form a very interesting defense, and it would also allow Israel Reyes to move into a holding midfield role, a position where someone of his quality is needed.

Will more reinforcements arrive?

So far, the team has added six reinforcements with the arrivals of Óscar Perea, Edwin Cerrillo, Carlos Álvarez, Miguel Borja, Santiago Mingo, and Santiago Bueno, but everything indicates they are still looking to complete one more signing.

Luis Chávez is the final reinforcement the board is planning for, and although it looks complicated, they will make a big effort to try to sign him before the transfer window closes, which will happen on September 11 at 11:59 PM.
