The telenovela starring Andrés Ibargüen and Club América seemed to have come to an end with the Colombian’s move to Santos Laguna, however, it was not.
The footballer has now revealed that he received threats to leave the azulcremas, since he was warned that he would not play if he stayed in Coapa.
” Yes it is reality that at some point we did not reach an agreement, I said that I agreed on a certain amount, but not on what they put and they handled themselves as they should not, they already reach a point of threats and I had to focus on sports, but they are things that everyone knows what he did well and what he did wrong, “said Ibargüen in an interview with Fox Sports.

In addition, Ibargüen commented that in recent weeks he was threatened not to play for America again if he did not accept the conditions that the board proposed for his departure, as had already happened with others Institution players.
“Later they told me that they were not going to put me to play if I didn’t do what they said. I said no, it’s not just what the club says, I have a signed contract and they can’t intimidate me with that. There were things out there that I was going to stay without playing, as had happened with some teammates, “he commented.
