The incredible reason Henry Martín wasn't allowed to leave América | OneFootball

Henry Martín became one of Club América’s best forwards, playing a key role in the three-peat and becoming one of the top scorers in the club’s history.

But right at his best moment, he suffered an injury that kept him out for almost all of 2025, and when it seemed like he had everything set to return to his best form in 2026, unfortunately that has not been the case.

‘La Bomba’ had a very poor Clausura 2026, and he started this Apertura 2026 as a starter, but he is still far from the level he once showed with Las Águilas.

He could have left Club América after Clausura 2026.

According to ESPN journalist León Lecanda, Henry Martín intended to leave Club América after Clausura 2026 ended and even suggested to the board that they let him go so they could receive money from his transfer.

But that departure was denied because the squad is very thin, and the board is aware that it currently does not have the financial resources to sign his replacement.

And so far, it does not seem to have been the best decision by the board, since the captain’s level has not improved and the criticism he receives from América fans is becoming more frequent.
