The foreign players currently at Club América | OneFootball

We are two weeks away from the start of the Apertura 2026, and for now the Eagles remain with a squad even weaker than what we saw in the last tournament.

The only significant change has been at head coach, with André Jardine leaving the team and Guillermo Almada arriving, but aside from that we have a squad that has had six departures and a couple of players who returned after being out on loan at other clubs.

It is clear that reinforcements will arrive, but it is also a fact that they will do so once the tournament has already started, once again missing out on having a preseason with the rest of the team.

The foreign players Club América currently has.

The Eagles have six “Not trained in Mexico” players, out of the nine allowed by Liga MX.

Sebastián Cáceres: He will report to Coapa after being eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup, and for now everything points to him staying with América, though there is still the possibility that he could receive an offer, keeping in mind that the European market is just opening.

Thiago Espinosa: The Eagles activated the purchase option and, after being close to signing with Atlante, Guillermo Almada decided he will keep him for this upcoming tournament.

Cristian Borja: Likewise, there was talk that he could leave the team, but in the end it was decided to keep him for Apertura 2026.

Brian Rodríguez: A similar situation to Sebastián Cáceres; he will report to Coapa, and if an interesting offer comes in for him, he will leave, otherwise he will stay with América.

Raphael Veiga: With André Jardine’s departure, it was thought he would be one of the “sacrificed” players, but he has convinced the coaching staff and will stay for at least six more months; at the end of the year it will be decided whether they acquire his rights or he returns to Palmeiras.

José Zúñiga: His future is still unclear; the idea was to move him on, but no offer has arrived for him. For now he stays, but he will be the fourth option up front behind Henry Martín, Patricio Zúñiga, and the reinforcement that arrives.
