For a long time, great names have been heard for the Mexican group. Players like Arturo Vidal have been linked in the nest , but without success. However, the azulcrema team would have in sight acquiring the Peruvian striker who, without a doubt, would be a luxurious signing for Solari’s attack.
America’s problems have been in the wallet. That was the main condition for Arturo Vidal not sounding louder. However, Gianluca Lapadula would be within the budget of the Mexican team . The Benevento player is valued at $ 4.8 million.

America must fight against a long list of suitors
The Mexican team has not been the only club that wants to have the Peruvian among its ranks. His good Copa América, in which he scored three goals , allowed him to experience a second wind. Lapadula is closely followed by teams such as Empoli, Parma, Torino, Parma, Monza, Monaco, Trabzonspor and even the Leicester City of the English Premier League.
Although the outlook is not very encouraging, America does not lose hope. It already happened once, that a footballer like André-Pierre Gignac , preferred to play in Tigres no matter what had a bunch of clubs behind his tab.
The trajectory of “El Bambino”
Lapadula has spent his entire career in Italian football. Perhaps his highest point was when defended the colors of AC Milan . In general numbers, Gianluca Lapadula has played more than 300 matches as a professional in which he has converted 141 goals.
It remains to be known what decision the current Benevento player will make. Obviously, it is not lacking in offers, but for the good fortune of the Eagles of America, the fans hope that their destination will be in Aztec territory.
