Welcome César Montes to Club América, the signing that paralyzes Mexico

One of the great objectives of Club América in this transfer market is to hire César Montes, the managers are looking for a great defender to be champions next season and they see the Espanyol player as their best option. This was reported by the newspaper El Universal.

The hiring of the defender of the Mexican National Team will not be easy, the player, despite the fact that he was relegated to the Second Division with Espanyol, had a great performance and drew the attention of other teams in Europe, and he also has a fairly high price.

Montes could look for a new team for the following season after being relegated to the Second Division with Espanyol, but this club will not seek to loan the player to another team, but rather they want to sell him but at a high figure for Club America.

The newspaper El Universal reported that Espanyol wants to sell César Montes for more than 10 million dollars, a figure that will be difficult for Club América to pay, in addition the footballer wants to stay in European football after his great performance that he showed in his first season in Spain.

The numbers of César Montes in Europe

The footballer played 22 games with Espanyol, scored 3 goals, received 6 yellow cards and was an outstanding player. The big problem is that he couldn't help his team stay in the First Division.
