MEXICO -- Striker Silvio Romero will leave América in the next few hours as he closes his transfer to Independiente.
In recent weeks, the red team negotiated with the blue and cream squad the transfer of the football player, but the salary issue prevented the completion of the transfer.
The Argentinian team paid 4.5 million dollars to Águilas for 70 percent of the center forward's transfer, who scored three goals in the last semester.
In the summer of 2016, Coapa paid eight million dollars to Chiapas for the player. In the last two tournaments, the 29-year-old offensive player was criticized by the blue and cream fans due to the five goals he scored that year.
América has Oribe Peralta, Henry Martín, Ricardo Marín, Alejandro Díaz, and Jérémy Ménez in the forward position.
