América set to secure their first signing for Clausura 2026 | OneFootball

Club América might be very close to finalizing a new signing for the next tournament: Kevin Castañeda, an offensive midfielder from Xolos de Tijuana, who is emerging as one of América's main targets for the upcoming tournament.

According to information from journalist Roberto López Olvera from Imagen TV, the América management has already advanced in negotiations with the border club to secure the arrival of the 26-year-old footballer.

Castañeda, known for his good individual technique, ability to filter passes, and versatility in the final third of the field, has been one of Xolos' standout players in recent seasons. His profile fits with América's intention to add a creative player who can compete internally and provide options in the offensive scheme.

The intention of this signing is to have a more offensive player, and he wouldn't take up a foreign player slot, thus adding a very good Mexican element.

Although there is no official announcement yet, the information revealed by the aforementioned journalist suggests that everything is ready, and only details remain before it can be announced as a reinforcement for the Clausura 2026.

What will the negotiation be like?

There is also talk that in this negotiation, the right winger Vitinho could be included, while América would be sending a couple of players to Xolos, although it is currently unknown who they might be.
