Club América has one of the best squads in Mexican soccer. The Eagles have had a great season in the 2022 Apertura and are the top candidate to win the title. In the first leg of the quarterfinals, against Puebla, Fernando Ortiz’s team once again showed the high level they are currently experiencing and easily defeated the team from La Franja by a score of 1-6.
The azulcremas look very solid in all their lines, however, the board is already working towards the next tournament and the names of some reinforcements for 2023 are already being considered. According to the Mediotiempo portal, América is very interested in adding two players from the Populate their ranks. They are the young Mexican defender Israel Reyes and the Uruguayan side Maximiliano Araujo.
According to this report, the central defender is the one that most interests Coapa and the Eagles would make a new offer for him after looking for him in the summer. According to the Transfermarkt portal, the market value of the 22-year-old defender amounts to a figure close to 3.5 million euros, although everything indicates that the sweet potato growers would request a higher amount.
Reyes would come to provide greater solidity to the lower table. América currently has Bruno Valdez, Sebastián Cáceres, Néstor Araujo and Emilio Lara to cover the position. With the possible arrival of the still player from Puebla, the defensive line would be strengthened even more.
For his part, Maxi Araujo is a versatile player who can play the whole band. He would arrive to compete for the position with veteran Luis Fuentes.
