Which positions will Club América look to strengthen for the Clausura 2026? | OneFootball

The Americanista management is already working on the planning of the squad for the first half of 2026, where the team will compete in the Clausura 2026 and the Concachampions, competitions they aim to win after experiencing a trophyless 2025.

As is often the case at this time of year, rumors begin to emerge about possible reinforcements and departures, but the truth is that nothing is official until the team reports for the start of preseason, at which point the management usually announces concrete moves.

However, this does not mean that there are no defined objectives to strengthen the squad, and it seems that there are already certainties about the positions that will be sought in this market.

América has already defined the positions to strengthen for the Clausura 2026

Club América's priority is clear: to incorporate a defensive midfielder, an offensive midfielder, and a center forward. Three areas that the coaching staff considers fundamental to provide greater balance and options to the team, especially considering the packed schedule that the Concachampions will represent.

Several names have already been mentioned, such as Agustín Palavecino, Guido Rodríguez, Kevin Castañeda, among others, but the reality is that at the moment, we have nothing concrete, as they first need to free up foreign player slots.

Competition for Malagón

In addition to the mentioned moves, it is planned to strengthen the goalkeeping position. The intention is to bring in sporting competition for Luis Ángel Malagón, with a goalkeeper who can compete for the position and raise the internal level, especially after what has been seen from the goalkeeper, who has clearly dropped in level over the past year.

Fernando Tapia has been mentioned as the most likely option, but likewise, nothing concrete has been decided yet.
