MEXICO -- Argentinian goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín was absent from part of Tuesday's training session with América, a situation that sparked conversation due to the team's negotiations with Porto.
Reports from the Portuguese press indicate that the Dragons have made an offer of eight million dollars for the South American, who sees the option of moving to European football with good eyes since in the 2019-2020 season he could play in the Champions League.
Agustín participated in the first exercise of the famous "torito" with the rest of the team, but was later called by coach Miguel Herrera. Both walked towards the management offices.
The goalkeeper stayed with the board for a span of 20 minutes and upon his return, he did not join his teammates.
'Marche' stopped with the assistants and physiotherapists, whom he hugged, sat down, and broke down in tears in front of the press that was present.

A source within the club confirmed to ESPN Digital that the player started crying because he was notified that he already belonged to Porto, a club that has been interested in the Liga MX in recent years.

On the other hand, the Colombian was with the rest of the team during this afternoon's session.
The coffee grower is also desired by the same Portuguese team, but so far they have not reached an agreement between both parties, so the player will still be considered for this weekend's match against Xolos.
