MEXICO -- The abrupt departure of Agustin Marchesin from America took the team's management by surprise, so the urgency to have his replacement is high and the idea, as ESPN Digital has learned from sources within the institution, is to have him signed this weekend.
The Eagles would have to face the match against Xolos de Tijuana this weekend with one of the two goalkeepers registered with the first team, Oscar Jimenez and Luis Zamudio, but the coaching staff hopes to have their new goalkeeper training by next Monday at the latest.
In an interview with ESPN Radio Formula, the team's coach, Miguel Herrera, did not confirm this information, but admitted that they have already reached out to the three teams where the goalkeeper they are looking for is located in order to reinforce the Azulcremas, but so far, according to the latest conversation he had with the club's sports president, Santiago Baños, nothing is closed.
"It won't just be Oscar who stays with three young players behind him, obviously he will fight with whoever comes every minute, but America must go out and fill that gap," he said.
