Which areas will Club América strengthen for Apertura 2026? | OneFootball

It has been almost three weeks since Club América were eliminated from the Clausura 2026, and we still do not have a single official move in the squad.

But this is not unusual with this board; we have already seen before that moves in the team usually do not happen until all the players report for preseason. From that point on, they start with the departures and then the arrivals.

That is precisely why we often see signings arrive in the middle of the tournament, or even other teams beat Las Águilas to players, since they move ahead with negotiations before América’s board does.

But beyond that, here we are going to tell you which positions are the main options to strengthen for the Apertura 2026.

Which positions are they looking to strengthen?

The board’s main idea involves three areas: center back, full-backs, defensive midfield, and a striker, but as always, if a key player in another position ends up leaving, they would also have to strengthen that area.

The reinforcements at center back and full-back are mainly due to the very possible departures of Israel Reyes and Sebastián Cáceres. Both will be at the World Cup, and the board expects them to receive offers from Europe.

In defensive midfield, it is possible that Jonathan dos Santos retires from football, so they are looking for a player with his characteristics, someone who can provide the same vision on the field as well as defensive support.

And at striker, it is a fact that both Patricio Salas and Henry Martín will remain with the team, but they are still looking for a clinical center forward, something that was sorely lacking in this last tournament. “Pantera” Zúñiga will leave the team, and Víctor Dávila will remain sidelined for the rest of the year.
