América will make Sebastián Cáceres their first 2020 signing | OneFootball

América may be preparing for the Liga MX final against Rayados but knowing that they have little time to prepare for the Clausura campaign, they are already making plans to the future.

With their defence an obvious liability last season, it’s no wonder that their first signing will be to reinforce their backline.

According to several sources, first reported by Uruguayan journalist Leandro Hernández, América already have a pre-agreement with Liverpool (URU) to sign 20-year-old centre-back Sebastián Cáceres.

Cáceres, who is also an Uruguay youth international, has featured 58 times for Liverpool and has occasionally served as club captain as well.

Cáceres is believed to have nearly joined América over the summer, but the deal reportedly fell apart due to Liverpool asking for more money as the deal was nearly completed.

Liverpool will reportedly hold onto 30% of the player’s economic rights as they believe he has the potential for a massive future.
