The Eagles have presented three reinforcements for the second semester of the year
While América's fans celebrated the presentation of their two star reinforcements for Apertura 2022, Jonathan Rodríguez and Néstor Araujo, the Coapa management struggles to find a way out for players who are not part of the plans for the following season.
The azulcrema team had no problems negotiating the departure of Mauro Lainez, but has encountered obstacles and especially negative responses from some players to be loaned or transferred to other clubs.
Juan Otero, Bruno Valdez, and Federico Viñas are the first-team players who have rejected the offers they have received to continue their careers and have continuity.
América negotiated with Necaxa the transfer of Otero, but he refused to leave the team, as he has only been with the club for one semester. The midfielder they signed from Santos did not meet expectations and was far from earning a spot in the starting 11. Now, the team is trying not to register the South American player on the roster, as they have until August 5 to find him a new team.
On the other hand, Viñas is another player who has lost prominence. After one semester with Las Águilas, the player has had a year and a half with poor performances and has only scored two goals in the last two tournaments. The player has been tempted by some teams, like Necaxa. However, the player and his entourage are determined to stay with the team or be transferred exclusively to Europe or MLS, but not to another Liga MX team.
The last player is Bruno Valdez. The experienced center-back has been one of the players singled out by the fans due to his level, and while the management has sought some options for him, the Paraguayan refuses to leave the club, as he will not have the same working conditions he has in América, and the cities of the teams that have approached him do not offer the same facilities as Mexico City. Despite this, the player enjoys a good reputation, so a transfer within Mexico could still happen.
América has presented three reinforcements for the second semester of the year. In addition to 'Cabecita' Rodríguez and Araujo, there is midfielder Jürgen Damm, who arrives from Atlanta United and is looking for an opportunity after not playing an official match for the past six months.
