Sebastián Cáceres insists on leaving América; Celta Vigo renews interest
Uruguayan defender Sebastián Cáceres is pushing for a move to Celta Vigo, hoping América will accept the Spanish club's latest offer.
The transfer saga involving Sebastián Cáceres, Club América, and Celta Vigo has taken an unexpected turn. Despite the operation appearing to have collapsed, the Uruguayan defender remains keen on playing in Spain and has reportedly informed the América board of his desire to complete the move.
According to journalist Luis Merlo, Celta Vigo is maintaining its latest bid of $8 million for Cáceres. The América leadership must now re-evaluate this figure to decide the outcome of these negotiations. The player's desire to take the leap into European football is seen as a key factor that could revive an operation previously considered dead.
While América had reportedly turned down earlier bids of $6 million and $7 million, internal sources from the club suggest they never received a formal written proposal. For Cáceres, this represents a significant career opportunity after previous links to Napoli and Sevilla failed to materialize.
With the European transfer window closing on September 1st, the deal would need to be finalized immediately to keep the defender's dream of playing in Europe alive.
