Club América are looking to sign one of the biggest names out there to make a statement in Liga MX after Luis Suárez announced that he’ll become a free agent, as they know that for them to compete against teams like Tigres or CF Monterrey, they need to pursue his addition.
Club América couldn't get Luis Suárez but dreams of another Uruguayan. Will they have enough money?
Las Águilas, who were eliminated by CF Pachuca in the semifinals of Clausura 2022, know that they need to improve the roster to avoid having another season like the one that is about to finish, when they started at the bottom of the table.
Although they were just two games away from a new Liga MX title, the lack of a striker that could score consistently prevented them from becoming a more dangerous team, something that Pachuca took advantage of, as they neutralized their top scorers, Alejandro Zendejas and Diego Valdés.
That’s why Emilio Azcárraga is pursuing the addition of the Uruguayan striker, as even at 35, his ease to find the rivals goal will be an instant improvement form the current strikers in Las Águilas, as Henry Martín and Federico Viñas couldn’t contribute to América.
Although the 35-year-old striker recently said during an interview with El Larguero that his priority is to stay in Europe, he also knows that he can’t close the door to any team that are after him, as he’s received several offers from Europe, United States, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, among others.
Reports suggest that Emilio Azcárraga will have a reunion with him after the game between Mexico and Uruguay that will be played on June 2 in State Farm Stadium, in Phoenix, to try to convince him to join Club América, although he already sent an entourage to Spain to ask about his conditions.
The first condition he established is to have a competitive team around him, as he knows that it is essential to play at a high level in the months prior to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. “I’m not thinking about money, I’m thinking about the sporting level of the club. That’s what interests me and what I want.”
Although he knows that having a good, competitive team to keep playing at a top level before Qatar 2022, he also knows that it is necessary to ensure his family’s stability, which is why his second condition is to good home for them and at least a vehicle provided by the team.
