The reason is serious. His children were victims of racism, a situation the player could not tolerate. After spells in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the Frenchman had moved to Mexico. CF América had invested over €10 million to sign him. On the pitch, his record is clear.15 matches, 3 goals, and 2 assists.

But off the pitch, the situation became unbearable. In a powerful statement, Saint-Maximin explained that while he can handle criticism directed at himself, he would never accept attacks against his children. He emphasized that respect must be a core value.

Statement made by Allan Saint-Maximin when he left Club América due to racist attacks against his children: "The problem is not the color of your skin, but the color of your thoughts. I don't care about attacks on me, but I can never accept attacks on my children."
