❌ América de Cali turn down a bid for Cristian Barrios | OneFootball

There is an Argentine football club strongly interested in hiring the winger of the 'Diablos Rojos'.

América de Cali plays this Thursday against Independiente Medellín for the last matchday of Group A of the Cuadrangulares Semifinales of the Liga BetPlay DIMAYOR 2025-I, although it also starts to move in the transfer market.

The 'Diablos Rojos' have received an offer from Gimnasia de La Plata for Cristian Barrios, who was also a target of this Argentine team in the January transfer market.

The 'Lobo' is trying to close the arrival of Barrios with an 18-month loan with an option to buy, but América de Cali rejected the first offer. However, the 'Mechita' is willing to continue negotiating.

Cristian Barrios is currently recovering from a sprained ankle and a small fracture in the fibula.

The 27-year-old right winger was going through a great moment until he suffered an injury on May 15 against Huracán in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.

Since last February, Barrios had approaches from Argentina but did not accept the offer, although now there would be a more attractive proposal to join Alejandro Orfila's team.

América de Cali already knows that it will get rid of several players like Felipe Gómez, Santiago Silva, Luis Paz, Joider Micolta, Duván Vergara, and Franco Leys. There are also doubts about the continuity of Juan Fernando Quintero and Jorge 'Polilla' Da Silva.
