Nicolás Castillo played for the last time on December 2019, when America lost against Monterrey the final of Liga MX and the Chilean was on the field during less than half an hour. After that, he couldn’t play again, as he experienced health problems that let him out of the team several times.

Nowadays, Castillo is making medical exams to know if he can recover himself and be back on the field. But there is a chance of him to retire if things don’t go as planned. For him, it would be the worst option, as he is just 27 years old and has the desire to continue playing many more years.


America is also experiencing a problem with Castillo. Even though it is clear that the club wants to help the player, they are spending a huge fortune on him, and he is not even playing. Castillo is America’s best paid player and earns more than $4.5 million per year, something that at this time of crisis means a lot to the club.


With a contract remaining until June 2022, America wants to make sure that he can be playing back someday, because if not they are just wasting their money with him. In more than a year at the club and with the fortune that the club pays him, Castillo lives in a mansion in one of the most expensive places of the city with a luxuries car that is worth a fortune.
