América close to signing Liga MX top scorer 🦅 | OneFootball

We are just one day away from the start of the Apertura 2025, but the América board is still looking for reinforcements for the season.

In recent weeks, there has been talk of the Eagles’ interest in signing a center forward; Diber Cambindo and Raúl Zúñiga have even been mentioned, the top scorers of Liga MX.

Journalist César Merlo has revealed that there are already advanced negotiations to sign ‘La Pantera’ Zúñiga, a striker who is about to turn 31 and who won the top scorer title last season with 12 goals.

We’re talking about a player who spent much of his career in Mexico’s Liga de Expansión with Venados and Dorados, but since the Apertura 2022 has been in the first division with Querétaro.

He arrived at Xolos for the Clausura 2023 and his start was rather slow, but over the past football year he greatly improved his level, scoring 20 goals in 35 matches played.

Is this what América needs?

Perhaps it’s not the main position that needed strengthening, but it never hurts to have an extra center forward, especially considering the only one currently available is Rodrigo Aguirre, since both Henry Martín and Víctor Dávila are meant to play behind a striker.

It’s unusual for the board to look for a player over 30 years old, but they are sticking to their transfer policy; after all, he is a proven striker in Liga MX and comes at a low cost.

Let’s wait and see if his signing is finalized; if they do sign him, there will only be one foreign player slot left.
