The signings Santiago Baños has made at Club América

Santiago Baños became América’s sporting president for the 2017-2018 season in a decision that was heavily questioned by América fans, since he had no experience in such a role.

From that moment to the present, Santiago has been in charge of signing 74 players for Las Águilas, with the highest number coming in the 2019-2020 season with 12 signings.

He is a sporting director who has been characterized by bringing in “proven” players in Liga MX; among all his signings, there are few we can consider “blockbusters” who came from foreign football.

The biggest names to arrive from other leagues were: Jérémy Ménez, Javairo Dilrosun and Allan Saint-Maximin; they were players who had never been in Liga MX and who arrived as important reinforcements for Las Águilas.

The rest of the players are mid-level players or great players who had already shown their talent in Mexico, such as Nicolás Castillo, Guillermo Ochoa, Jonathan Rodríguez, Julián Quiñones and Víctor Dávila, among others.
