Transfer rumours: the players who could be joining América

América is having a pretty disappointing transfer window compared to what was expected from this team after being eliminated in the Quarterfinals of the previous tournament.

The team, now managed by Guillermo Almada, has not been able to add any reinforcements, with only the return of players who came back from loan, such as Emilio Lara, Esteban Lozano, and Franco Rossano.

But in terms of signings, not a single one has been finalized yet, despite the head coach himself admitting that the board was working to sign four or five players for the tournament that began last week.

Which players are being linked with América?

As is often the case, there have been plenty of rumors about players who could arrive, but here we leave you with the ones the board has actually pursued in this transfer window.

Borja Iglesias: The Spanish striker from Celta de Vigo is a player the board is very interested in. They have already spoken with him, but the player himself asked them to wait until his participation in the World Cup had ended, which only happened last weekend. His arrival is complicated, but negotiations are ongoing.
Luis Chávez: He is one of the players most talked about in this transfer window, and while the team is very interested, the deal has become complicated due to the high cost of his transfer fee. Even so, negotiations are still ongoing.
David Vázquez: A midfielder from San Diego who is only 20 years old and holds dual Mexican-American nationality; he is an interesting player in a position that urgently needs strengthening, namely midfield, and they are already in talks with his club in the United States.
Alexandre Zurawski: A Brazilian-born striker known as ‘Alemao,’ currently plays for Rayo Vallecano and is an option if they cannot complete the signing of Borja Iglesias. He is 28 years old and plays as a center forward.
Lucas Esquivel: A 24-year-old Argentine player who currently belongs to Athletico Paranaense in Brazil’s Serie A; he plays as a left back, but can also play as a winger on that same flank.
Juninho Capixaba: A Brazilian left back who is also on América’s radar, but he is an option in case they are unable to sign Esquivel.
Samuel Moutoussamy: He holds dual nationality, being from Congo and France; a box-to-box midfielder who stood out in the last World Cup with Congo. The signing would cost around one million euros, a figure that would make his arrival much easier.

The idea is for at least four reinforcements to arrive, and next week will be key for finalizing the arrival of some of them.
