Who is Edwin Cerrillo? Club América's new signing | OneFootball

It took a while, but we’re finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel in this transfer window for Club América.

Just as we reach Matchday 3 of the Apertura 2026, the team has officially announced its second signing for this second half of the year with the arrival of Edwin Cerrillo from LA Galaxy.

Edwin joins Óscar Perea as the Eagles’ signings for what remains of the Apertura 2026 and the Leagues Cup.

Who is Edwin Cerrillo?

Edwin Cerrillo is a 25-year-old midfielder with dual Mexican-American nationality, and he has spent his entire career in MLS with LA Galaxy; his only European experience was a month in Germany training with Bayern Munich, although he was unable to stay with the German giant.

What will he bring to América?

The current squad does not have a player with those characteristics. We’re talking about a midfielder with a good touch and solid ball control, very much in the style of Jonathan dos Santos and Álvaro Fidalgo, a profile that the current América squad lacks.

If he manages to adapt, he will become a very interesting signing and could even contribute a lot, despite arriving with a low profile.

Will more signings arrive?

At least two more players are expected to arrive, a center forward and another midfielder in the same mold, and with that the transfer window would be wrapped up, as long as no key player leaves the squad.
