Iván Tona deal falls through, who will arrive in his place? | OneFootball

A couple of days ago, several outlets reported that Iván Tona, a Xolos midfielder, had everything in place to join Club América for the 2026 Apertura.

Although it was never announced by Club América, the fact that several media outlets confirmed it was a sign that everything was settled and it was simply a matter of time before it became official.

But according to information from Julio Ibáñez of TUDN, Iván Tona’s transfer has fallen through and it is now practically impossible for him to join Las Águilas, at least in this transfer window.

The same journalist confirmed that everything had already been agreed between the clubs, but that a situation which remains unknown to this day ended up derailing the transfer.

Who will arrive in his place?

The same journalist mentioned above said that the board will definitely bring in a midfielder and noted that it will be a big ‘surprise’ for América fans.

Everything indicates that this ‘surprise’ would be Luis Chávez, a Mexican midfielder they have been pursuing practically since the transfer window began and whom they have not been able to sign for different reasons.

América’s board is running out of time, so if they want to sign Luis Chávez, they have until September 11 at 11:59 p.m. (Central Mexico time) to complete the deal.
