Club América is pivoting its recruitment strategy, shifting focus away from Elías Montiel to target European-based talent Luis Chávez.
Strategic Shift in Recruitment
While reports indicate that a move for Elías Montiel will not materialize, the club is now actively exploring the possibility of bringing in Luis Chávez. According to local media reports, Guillermo Almada has expressed a strong interest in Chávez as a key reinforcement for the squad.

The pursuit of Chávez represents a move to secure a high-caliber player currently competing in Europe, signaling the club’s intent to bolster its roster with international experience.
The Financial Stakes
The ambition to upgrade the squad comes with a significant price tag. Reports have surfaced questioning whether Club América is prepared to commit $17 million to secure two new reinforcements, a figure that underscores the financial scale of the club’s current market ambitions.
