Richard Sánchez and Diego Valdés struggle away from Club América | OneFootball

Both Richard Sánchez and Diego Valdés left Club América this year with the aim of facing new challenges in their careers.

Richard left América in the middle of the Clausura 2025 heading to Racing in Argentina, as the Paraguayan player wanted more playing time and had a substitute role with the Eagles.

As for Diego, it was different, as his departure was more of a mutual agreement; both the player and the coaching staff thought it was best for the former '10' of the Eagles, as he played very little and suffered many injuries. Vélez Sarsfield from Argentina signed him.

They have had a tough time outside of Club América.

Both players are having a very bad time with their respective teams, and it is likely that they will not continue with them.

Richard Sánchez has only played nine out of 25 possible matches and was even not called up for the last Copa Libertadores match by Racing.

Rumors suggest that his new team could be Olimpia of Paraguay, as Racing is considering letting him go due to the poor level he has shown.

Meanwhile, Diego Valdés has not been able to debut with his club, as injuries have prevented him, and there is talk that they might terminate his contract; this week will be crucial in determining his future.

It is clear that Richard still had the level to contribute to Club América, but Diego Valdés had already completed his cycle, not due to a lack of skill, but because of the ongoing issue he faces: constant injuries.
