He played for a rival, is Orbelín's teammate and América would like him to reinforce their team

América does not want to make any slip-ups in this upcoming season, as was the case in the last Clausura, in which the Mexican team, coached at that time by Solari and hit by a poor run of results, began its participation in a very poor manner. They ended up recovering, reached fourth place, and reached the semifinals.

Now, the 'Águilas' are already preparing for the start of the Mexican Apertura and their market idea is to find a player to reinforce the defensive line. They could look to the Spanish League, more specifically to Celta de Vigo.

Which player does América want?

Néstor Araujo has been chosen by América to lead the backline, although the operation is likely to be complex, as the Galicians have firm intentions to renew the Mexican, who currently has a contract until 2023. He could leave for free at the end of the next season if he does not extend his contract.

The central defender completed his fourth season at Celta de Vigo in 2022, where he has already played 136 games. He arrived from Santos Laguna, which was his club after his first season at Cruz Azul.
