Club América continues its search for a forward to bolster the squad ahead of the Apertura 2026 tournament. The team, coached by Guillermo Almada, is under pressure from fans to address their offensive needs.
During a segment on the program «Línea de 4», a list of available free agents was discussed as potential options for the club. The names mentioned included high-profile strikers such as Jamie Vardy, Enner Valencia, Alan Pulido, and Mauro Icardi.
Panelists had mixed views on the feasibility of these signings. Rafa Puente Jr. emphasized that any incoming striker needs to be a guaranteed starter with a high goal-scoring record. Damián Zamogilny argued that the club must decide on a clear profile: whether to bring in a proven veteran to start, a player to compete with Henry Martín, or a young prospect for the future.
Other players currently without a club who were mentioned include Rogelio Funes Mori, Josef Martínez, Lucas Cavallini, and Roger Martínez. No formal decisions have been confirmed as the club evaluates its strategy.
