Club América had a difficult tournament to qualify for in the 2022 Apertura of Liga MX. On the one hand, the squad led by Fernando Ortiz dominated the regular phase of the championship and did not tire of breaking records. However, the Coapa team failed to achieve its main objective: reach the grand final and win the title.
The Eagles need to reinforce some key positions to compete again for the first places and for the title. One of these positions is the right-back, since since Jorge Sánchez’s departure to Ajax he has a deficit of elements in that area of the field. The young Emilio Lara has taken over the starting position, but faced with a possible injury, the team would be left unprotected.
In this sense, America will seek to add an element in that position. The favorite at the moment is a LA Galaxy player: Julián Araujo. The right side of the Mexican National Team has had outstanding performances with the Los Angeles team and would seek a change of scenery to continue progressing in his career.
During the summer he was associated with clubs like FC Porto or even Barcelona, but in the end he remained in the MLS. América will seek to convince the California-born winger to join his squad for the Clausura 2023.
According to a report by journalist Fernando Esquivel, steps have already begun to achieve this operation. The LA Galaxy would be willing to sell a good part of the Mexican-American player’s file, but would save a percentage in case of a future sale.
Although there is still no formal offer to take over the 21-year-old right-back, there seems to be a good chance that the deal will move in the right direction.
