Newswire From a news agency New plan
  • Mexican club América announced that Uruguay defender Sebastián Cáceres will join Celta Vigo in Spain.
  • Cáceres made 209 appearances for América and won six titles after joining in 2020.
  • He leaves while América leads the unbeaten Apertura and prepares for a Leagues Cup semifinal against Monterrey.

Sebastián Cáceres is leaving América for Celta Vigo after becoming one of the Mexican club's defensive leaders and helping it win six trophies.

América announced the Uruguay international's departure on Tuesday, thanking him for defending the club's colors, his professionalism and the titles they won together. Cáceres joined for the 2020 Clausura and made 209 appearances, totaling 16,994 minutes.

During his time with the Águilas, he won three consecutive league championships, a Campeón de Campeones title, a league Super Cup and a Campeones Cup. The 27-year-old began his professional career with Uruguay's Liverpool in 2017.

Cáceres also played for Uruguay at the 2024 Copa América, where the team finished third, and at the 2026 World Cup. Celta also announced his signing on its X account.

His departure comes at an awkward moment for América. The team, coached by fellow Uruguayan Guillermo Almada, leads the Apertura with 16 points from six matches and has conceded only twice. Cáceres will miss Wednesday's Leagues Cup semifinal against Monterrey.

Sebastián Cáceres, thank you for defending our colors from the first day. Thank you for the titles we won together, your professionalism and the great history we wrote together at the Club. We wish you much success in all your future projects.
