Club América needs a right back. After the departure of Jorge Sánchez to Ajax, the Eagles have been discovered in that position and one of the board’s priorities is to bring in a reinforcement in this position for the Clausura 2023 of the MX League. Emilio Lara has been improvised in that area of the field, but the Coapa team would seek to have a natural in that position to compete.
Although different candidates have been raised to reach the Eagles, such as Julián Araujo of the LA Galaxy, it seems that the favorite of the board is Diego Barbosa, a member of the Atlas de Guadalajara. The 26-year-old defender was an important piece in Zorros’ two-time championship and would be the first option for Club América.
According to the Transfermarkt portal, the approximate market value of Barbosa is almost two million dollars, although due to the inflated prices of the Liga MX market, the Águilas would have to spend a little more money to get the services of the player. Originally from Guadalajara.
The most recent reports indicate that Atlas, in the first instance, would not be convinced to let his right-back go that easily and that they would only let him go if a significant financial offer arrives.
Barbosa is a youth squad player for Los Zorros, but has been loaned in the past to clubs such as Venados de Mérida and Dorados de Sinaloa. He was one of the most outstanding defenders in the Liga MX last year, but his good moment was slowed by plantar fasciitis that prevented him from playing more in the second half of the year.
