América seal first signing for Apertura 2026 | OneFootball

The current transfer window has been one of the worst América has had in recent years: no signings and several departures have left the team starting the tournament with a very thin squad.

But it finally seems like they are showing signs of life, and everything indicates they have already secured their first signing for this Apertura 2026, which is already in Matchday 3.

According to journalist César Merlo, Club América has signed Óscar Perea, a Colombian left winger who was playing for Racing Strasbourg in France’s Ligue 1.

Other outlets such as TUDN and Claro Sports had already reported that the board had finalized an ‘attack-minded’ signing and that it would be announced on Monday, so everything suggests it was this player.

Who is Óscar Perea?

Óscar Perea is a left winger with a right-footed profile who is only 20 years old and until recently was considered one of the gems of Colombian soccer.

Despite his young age, he has already played for three clubs: Atlético Nacional (Colombia), Racing Strasbourg (France), and AVS (Portugal), although unfortunately he has not been able to establish himself as expected.

The deal is a one-year loan with an option to buy, with the aim of giving him playing time, and if everything goes well, he could stay in Coapa.
