  • Chilean forward Víctor Dávila is reportedly set to leave Mexican club América for Colo Colo.
  • América is expected to grant Dávila a free transfer due to the imminent signing of Colombian striker Oscar Perea.
  • Dávila, who is recovering from a torn ligament, may not be able to play until September and would join Colo Colo on loan with a purchase option.

Chilean forward Víctor Dávila appears to be on the verge of departing Mexican club América, with a move to Chilean side Colo Colo reportedly in the works. According to the publication Aguilas Monumental, Dávila will be given the green light to leave the club as América finalizes the signing of 20-year-old Colombian striker Oscar Perea.

The arrival of Perea is expected to free up space in América's squad, allowing them to release Dávila and facilitate negotiations with Colo Colo. The report suggests that the transfer would be structured as a loan deal, including an option for Colo Colo to purchase Dávila permanently.

However, Dávila's immediate impact at Colo Colo may be delayed. He is currently recovering from a torn ligament injury sustained in March and is not anticipated to be match-fit until September. This means he would be unavailable for selection for the first part of the season, but his potential return could bolster Colo Colo's attacking options later in the campaign.
