Official: Óscar Perea joins Club América | OneFootball

The current transfer window has been one of the worst América has had in recent years; with no signings and several departures that have led them to start the tournament with a very short squad.

But the front office has finally woken up and announced its first reinforcement for the 2026 Apertura; Óscar Perea, a Colombian player, becomes the first signing for this second half of the year.

The intention behind this signing is to give an opportunity to a player who has shown potential and to create internal competition for Brian Rodríguez, who was left alone in that position after Allan Saint-Maximin’s departure.

Who is Óscar Perea?

Óscar Perea is a right-footed left winger who is only 20 years old and who until recently was considered one of the gems of Colombian football, standing out with his country’s U-20 national team.

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

Racing Strasbourg owns his rights, and the deal consists of a one-year loan with an option to buy, so it is a low-risk signing for the team, something similar to what we saw with players like Vinícius Lima and Raphael Veiga.
