  • Sebastián Cáceres has completed his move from América to Celta de Vigo after expressing his desire to leave the Mexican club.
  • The 27-year-old defender signed through 2030, with Celta reportedly paying $8 million for the transfer.
  • Cáceres joined América in 2020 and helped the club win six trophies, including three Liga MX titles and a three-title run.

Sebastián Cáceres is leaving América after several years in the club’s defense and will continue his career with Celta de Vigo in Spain.

The agreement followed several days of negotiations and the Uruguayan center back’s stated desire to leave América. Cáceres, 27, has signed a contract with the Vigo club through 2030. The transfer fee is reported at $8 million.

Cáceres arrived at América for the Clausura 2020 from Uruguay’s Liverpool FC, in a deal worth no more than $2 million. After spending years under criticism, he established himself as a key player for the team.

He played an important role in América’s three-title run under Brazilian coach André Jardine. During his time with the club, Cáceres won six trophies: three Liga MX titles, one Campeón de Campeones, one Campeones Cup and one Supercopa de la Liga MX.

His departure gives América another foreign-player roster spot. The club currently has Cristian Borja, Raphael Veiga, Óscar Perea, Ícaro de Conceicao, Brian Rodríguez, Miguel Borja and José Zúñiga listed as foreign players.
