América's Adrián Goransch available as 'Mexican' player for Apertura | OneFootball

América have registered young defender Adrián Goransch for the upcoming 2020 Apertura.

The 21-year-old was born in Puebla, but moved to Germany as a child.

He came up through the ranks to reach reserve team level at Wolfsburg before transferring to América in January of this year.

Despite being born in Mexico, he did not qualify as a homegrown player due to his upbringing in Europe.

With Azulcrema not wanting to register him as a ‘foreigner’, Las Águilas loaned him out to Ascenso MX side Atlético Zacatepec for the Clausura.

Goransch has since returned to Miguel Herrera’s squad, and will be considered a Mexican for selection purposes from now on.

He actually featured in the second half of América’s 2-0 win over Toluca in the Copa por México on Friday, though it would have been easy to miss him given the raft of substitutes Herrera indulged in.
