The Eagles of America They are still looking for a replacement for the naturalized Mexican Colombian Julián Quiñones and now Serbian media are reporting that the most controversial team in Mexican football is interested in him. Panamanian striker for Red Star José Luis “Pumita” Rodríguez.

According to the newspaper Meridian Sport, the Mexican team made an offer close to $2.5 million dollars. by the forward of the Canalera team that recently played in the 2024 Copa América and had some flashes of good quality.

In the news note, it is detailed that Estrella Roja would be ready to secure the transfer, even though it recently acquired him from a negotiation with Famalicao from Portugal, so it would not be surprising if the signing could be completed.

However, the short time he has played in Serbian football with Red Star has made itself felt with a goal and two assists that have shown his danger and that he could fit the conditions that the Brazilian coach is looking for. André Jardine to get out of the crisis in which he finds himself immersed after the Leagues Cup cwith consecutive defeats against Puebla and Cruz Azul.

Rodríguez would be hired in the regulatory place left by the injured Igor Lichnovsky, which means that America has a vacant foreigner spot. and this player, who is part of a group of gunners that the Coapa team is looking for, could join.

Currently, America is in twelfth place in the general table with six points, ten behind the leader Cruz Azul, which represents a surprise in the competition to achieve its goal of getting the first three-time championship in its history and in that of short tournaments, which is why it is urgent to recover lost ground.

So far America has in its ranks with the Uruguayan Sebastian Caceres, the Colombian Felix Borja, the Paraguayan Richard Sanchez, the Chilean Diego Valdes, the Dutchman Javairo Dilrosun, the Spaniard Alvaro Fidalgo, the Uruguayans Diego Aguirre and Brian Rodriguez.

CWith these players, America has not managed to perform as its fans expected. and they urgently need a striker with more substance, but above all one who can become the second nine as Quiñones did until last tournament.

It will be in the next few hours when It is possible to know if this possibility can be realized and the Panamanian reaches the Americanist ranks.
