A dream come true for the Americanista fans! After winning the Liga MX championship, rumors are making the Azulcremas dream, with Club America, always ambitious in the transfer market, which could be preparing a big surprise.
Three international elite names are strongly heard in the corridors of the Nido de Coapa: Marcelo, James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao. But which of them could become the next Azulcrema star?
While the negotiations remain rumors, the truth is that Club America has the financial muscle and ambition to attempt the impossible. Will Marcelo be the bombshell signing? Will there be room for James or Falcao? In Coapa, dreams have no limits, and the fans are ready to welcome a new idol.
Emilio Azcarraga would be negotiating with the support of Nike
At 36 years of age and after a controversial departure from Fluminense, Marcelo is free and waiting for a new challenge. According to RTI Esporte, Club America, under the management of Andre Jardine, is considering an offer for the former Real Madrid player. Emilio Azcarraga, with the backing of Nike and Televisa, could close the deal by offering a one-year contract worth $24 million.
The signing of the Brazilian would be strategic: experience in international tournaments and the necessary boost to seek the four-time championship in the Liga MX and a title in the Concacaf Champions Cup. In addition, his status as a free agent makes the move easier, as it would only remain to negotiate his salary and length of contract.
Rodriguez and Falcao are less likely to sign
James, currently playing for Rayo Vallecano, has not had the expected impact on his return to Europe. With only seven games played and constant physical problems, his stay at the Spanish club is far from a fairy tale.
Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo recently commented that James needs a team that values him and guarantees him continuity. Could America be that destination? Although the rumors are not as strong as with Marcelo, James’ talent would be a luxury for any team.
Radamel Falcao, on the other hand, seems to have other plans. After his spell with Millonarios, the Colombian striker is close to renewing his contract to play in the Copa Sudamericana in 2025. The 37-year-old has yet to define his future, but everything suggests that his story in Colombia will continue for one more season.
