América close to signing a left-back | OneFootball

We are just a few hours away from the transfer market closing, and the Eagles are working tirelessly to secure their final reinforcements.

Yesterday, it was revealed that the team was very close to signing the midfielder, Vinicius Lima, a player from Fluminense in Brazil.

But it seems he won't be arriving alone. According to journalist César Merlo, Fluminense's left-back, Gabriel Fuentes, is very close to becoming an Eagles player.

Reports indicate that the negotiations are very advanced and it seems that in the coming hours or by Monday at the latest, the arrival of both players will be confirmed.

It is important to note that the transfer market closes this Monday at 11:59 PM, and until then, they have time to sign and register players with Liga MX.

Does América need a left-back?

Cristian Borja has been the undisputed holder of that position. Last tournament, Ralph Orquín was brought back to compete for the spot, but the coaching staff did not see the necessary capability in him and gave him very few minutes.

For this tournament, Ralph remained with the team but decided not to renew his contract with the aim of moving to European football in the summer market, a situation that led to him no longer being considered by the coaching staff, leaving Borja as the only left-back.

Gabriel Fuentes would arrive to compete for the position and could also be used as a midfielder, a position that is not his usual, but in which he has already played several matches.
