Club América had a great performance in the regular phase of the Liga MX Apertura 2022 tournament. The azulcrema squad took the lead in the general table with 38 points, the product of 12 wins, two draws and only three losses. The Eagles are the number one candidate to win the title.
Although the season is not over yet, the board headed by Santiago Baños is already working towards the next semester. According to the most recent reports, América already has its first reinforcement in mind for Clausura 2023. The capital team’s priority would be to reinforce itself with Israel Reyes, a Puebla footballer.
The Eagles had already looked for the young defender of the La Franja team for this season, but the people of Puebla refused to sell their jewel before the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The 22-year-old player had been called up by Gerardo Martino to the National Team Mexican to play some friendlies, but everything indicates that ‘Tata’ will not take him to the World Cup.
In this context, America would return to the charge to sign Reyes, an element that can be played both as a central defender and as a means of contention, according to a report by Argentine journalist César Luis Merlo.

This report indicates that Puebla is now willing to sell its soccer player and that the negotiation could be closed in the next few days, although it would be announced after the championship ends because both the camotero and the Águilas are still in competition.
The @KeryNews account indicated that Reyes is closely followed by two European soccer teams and that America will not have it so easy to add the defender to their ranks.
