America’s latest transfer rumors news: Paul Arriola to join the club?

Club América's board continues working to complete its dream squad for the 2022 Clausura tournament, so far they have had two additions and two departures.

Additions

Departures

América expects to complete the remaining planned departures, Leonardo Suárez and Bruno Valdez could leave and release available spots for foreigners, and bring in at least two more players to close the roster, and there are rumors that head coach Santiago Solari still wants a winger and a central defender, with the clear objective of fighting for the Liga MX title. 

Below are the latest rumors and news on the Azulcrema's transfer scouting efforts:

Paul Arriola an alternative for the offense

In the last few hours, another winger has been rumored to reinforce the Aguilas' roster. The 26-year-old American footballer, former LA Galaxy player, has already had a stint in Mexico with Xolos and Dorados.

It is Paul Arriola who belongs to D.C. United of Major League Soccer and has been on loan at Swansea City. 

Joao Rojas in negotiations with the Águilas

Ecuadorian media reports said that the club is still negotiating with Emelec for the signing of Joao Rojas, a 24-year-old Ecuadorian winger who can play on both wings and who is being highly praised in the South American country. He would be the ideal winger to cover the loss of Renato Ibarra.

It is reported from Ecuador that Joao Rojas would cost between US$2.5 and US$3 million, a sum that the Azulcrema board could pay since they cashed in on the sale of Sebastián Córdova for around US$7 million.

Darwin Machís is back on the radar for America

The Azulcrema board has been keeping an eye on the situation of the Venezuelan player since last semester, the player is wanted by several teams and Granada would be willing to lower their demands with respect to the previous semester in order to sell him.

The 28-year-old versatile winger has a contract until 2023 with the Spanish side and could consider the capital club's interest in joining his squad.
