  • América coach Guillermo Almada said the club remains alert to possible signings after defender Sebastián Cáceres left for Celta Vigo.
  • Almada said the club needs a deep squad for a demanding schedule and did not rule out late additions.
  • He described Levante midfielder Carlos Álvarez as a talented player but said no agreement has been finalized.

Sebastián Cáceres’ move to Celta Vigo has left a significant gap in América’s defense, and Guillermo Almada is not closing the door on a late solution. Although the transfer window is nearing its end, the Uruguayan coach said the club remains attentive to players who could strengthen the squad.

Cáceres made the decision to continue his career in Spanish football after receiving an important opportunity in Europe. América tried to keep him, Almada said, but respected the defender’s wishes. The departure has increased the pressure to add depth to a team facing a crowded semester and competing on several fronts.

"The club did everything possible to keep the player, but we respect the footballer’s wishes. We will look for a replacement who can give the team a boost in quality. América has many competitions and we need a large squad. We hope to add reinforcements whenever we find players with the characteristics we are looking for," Almada said.

The coach said he is working closely with América’s directors on the squad’s construction. He also addressed reports linking the club with Carlos Álvarez, the Spanish midfielder from Levante. Almada praised Álvarez’s ability and said the coaching staff knows him from its time in Spanish football, but stressed that the possibility has not yet become a completed deal.

"We are trying to complete the squad. He is a footballer with very good qualities and we know him from our time in Spanish football, but it is still only a possibility that has not been finalized. We will see what happens in the future," Almada said.
