Santiago Baños explains several signings and the exit of ‘stars’ | OneFootball

The squad that achieved Club América’s three-peat was full of stars; we could see great players on the team and even a bench with players who would be starters at most Liga MX clubs.

But as time went on, we started to see several of those stars leave América: Julián Quiñones, ‘Cabecita’ Rodríguez, Diego Valdés, and now Álvaro Fidalgo.

Santiago Baños was the one singled out for allowing those departures, and now in an interview with Claro Sports, the Eagles’ president spoke about this issue.

The players asked to leave América.

According to his words, the reason for Quiñones’ departure was financial; they received a huge offer for him, one that tripled the salary he had at América, and that is why he decided to leave.

Regarding ‘Cabecita’, he said that the player was not happy being a substitute and therefore wanted to leave, and in the end they saw it as a good decision since he has barely been able to play in MLS due to an injury that has kept him off the pitch for more than a year.

And on the matter of Diego Valdés, they felt that his time at América had already come to an end, so it was time to let him go, and while it is true that he is doing well in Argentina, he has missed several matches due to injury.
