Official: Patricio Salas leaves América for European football | OneFootball

Patricio Salas had a major role during André Jardine’s last few seasons with América, taking advantage of the absence of attacking players such as Henry Martín and Víctor Dávila.

But with Guillermo Almada’s arrival, he lost minutes on the pitch, as the Uruguayan coach preferred a player like Alejandro Cárdenas, believing he contributed more to his system than ‘Pato’.

And when Miguel Borja’s arrival was confirmed, it practically left Patricio as the fourth option in attack behind Henry Martín, Alejandro Cárdenas, and Miguel himself, so talk began about a possible departure.

He is going to Famalicão in Portugal.

Big news was revealed today by journalist César Merlo: Club América reached an agreement with Famalicão of Portugal to send Patricio Salas on a one-year loan so that he can gain experience in Europe and perhaps begin a career there.

It is expected that this week ‘Pato’ will travel to Portugal for medical exams and then sign the contract, which will run until August 2027, with the option to extend it if the club decides to make the move permanent.

How is his new club doing?

It will not be easy at all for Patricio, as he will join a team that has started the season in Portugal on the wrong foot, losing two matches and drawing another, currently sitting in 16th place, one spot above the relegation zone. But it is a club that usually fights for a place in the middle of the table.
