The player who refuses to leave America and who would prevent Jonathan Rodriguez from registering with America

The arrival of Jonathan Rodríguez excited the fans of the Águilas del América, who are eagerly awaiting their 14th title. However, there was a problem in Coapa for the Uruguayan's registration in Liga MX, despite the fact that he had already been announced as a reinforcement on the official social media accounts.

Since the arrival of the former Cruz Azul striker, it was known that the Azulcrema team, led by Argentinean coach Fernando Ortiz, needed to vacate one of the places for players not trained in Mexico. The main players targeted are Paraguayan defender Bruno Valdez and Colombian striker Juan Otero.

Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia is reportedly interested in the Guaraní. Meanwhile, in the case of the former Santos Laguna, the Águilas del América's top brass have already agreed to a transfer with their counterparts from the Rayos del Necaxa. If executed, the issue would be solved as a result of being able to score Jonathan Rodríguez, but this would not be the case.

It turns out that Juan Otero refused to travel to Aguascalientes, so the idea began to circulate in the corridors of the Nido that, in the event that they do not manage to place him, they would not register him for the 2022 Apertura Tournament and, in this way, get the place they need for Cabecita. However, according to Soyfutbol.com, that would not be a viable option, since the regulations protect the player with the right of effective occupation.

What is the right of effective occupation, the rule that protects Juan Otero to be registered in the Apertura by America?

Club América is not allowed to do without Juan Otero in order to register Jonathan Rodríguez in the 2022 Apertura MX League Tournament, due to the right of effective occupation. In other words, the Azulcrema institution cannot prevent the Colombian player from training and being available to Fernando Ortiz for the commitments that, in this case, will be presented in the semester, just because they want to make room for another foreigner.
