The accumulated minutes by Lainez on the field with the Eagles activated the clause for his permanent acquisition
The America will have to exercise the obligatory purchase option for Mexican winger Mauro Lainez, who arrived a year ago to Coapa from Xolos de Tijuana and his performance automatically triggered the established clause. Lainez fulfilled the requirements imposed by the Eagles to acquire him permanently.
ESPN Digital has learned that America has not yet started talks with the Xolos team to agree on the terms of the purchase, nor has it met with the player, who has recovered from a right thigh injury and will be available for the Playoffs. The negotiation will take place over the next few weeks, but his future is secured within the team led by Santiago Solari.
Mauro Lainez earned the starting position throughout the campaign, despite being a request from the previous blue cream coach, Miguel Herrera, who was dismissed last December.
Throughout the year, Mauro Lainez has participated in 38 games and played 2,648 minutes, which represents 77 percent of possible minutes, and that is why the obligatory purchase option has been activated.
Throughout the year, Mauro has scored two goals and provided four assists with the feathered team.
