Although it does not yet have a coach for the 2021 Guardians Tournament, America is very close to receiving its first Christmas present: a reinforcement from the current champion in the MX League.
In the absence of the contract being signed and made official, Peruvian containment winger Pedro Aquino will be the new Eagles player.
A recurring starter with La Fera by Ignacio Ambriz, the South American is distinguished by his efficient recovery of the ball and easy delivery.
His arrival would fill the gaps left by Argentine Santiago Caseres and Mexican Fernando Rubén González, who is no longer part of the club’s plans.
Aquino has six months left on his contract with the current champion, so it’s time to negotiate; otherwise, it could come out for free in the summer. He came to Mexican football for the 2017 Opening.
His federal rights were acquired by the Tigers, but they ceded him to the BUAP Wolves, with whom he played for a year and then went to the Lion, where he consolidated.
The Peruvian is even already looking for a home in Mexico City, so everything looks set to be the first reinforcement in America for 2021, although it is not yet known who will lead the equipment.
