As Liga MX clubs gear up for the Clausura 2025 season, Club américa finds itself navigating a complex transfer strategy focused on both bolstering its attack and managing payroll constraints. Following a disappointing showing from their forward line last tournament, Las Águilas are eyeing reinforcements, with Necaxa’s Díber Cambindo emerging as a key target-despite rival interest from Pumas. Currently engaged in negotiations for midfielder Alexis Palavecino, América may leverage those talks to potentially secure a deal for the highly sought-after Colombian forward, though the asking price could reach upwards of $7 million.
While most Liga MX teams are actively pursuing new players, Club América is taking a more cautious approach, prioritizing the creation of roster space for international players in an effort to reduce payroll.
Las Águilas are in urgent need of a reliable center forward following underwhelming performances from Federico Aguirre, Lucas Zúñiga, and Henry Martín last tournament. Now, a potential opportunity has emerged with Necaxa, where they are already negotiating for midfielder Alexis Palavecino, to revisit their interest in forward Díber Cambindo – a player their rivals, Pumas, may not be able to afford.
What price tag awaits América for Cambindo and Palavecino?
According to reports, Club Universidad Nacional recently made an offer of approximately $2 million, plus a player, to Necaxa for Cambindo. However, the offer was immediately rejected by Los Rayos.
Necaxa is reportedly demanding over $7 million for the Colombian striker. Adding the $7 million price tag for Agustín Palavecino, Club América could be facing a total outlay of between $14 and $15 million to secure both Necaxa players. This significant investment comes as teams across Liga MX prepare for the upcoming Clausura 2025 season.
While América’s current interest in Cambindo remains unconfirmed, they were linked to the player in the past. With ongoing negotiations with Necaxa for Palavecino, the club’s leadership may use the opportunity to inquire about the forward and potentially bolster their attack with a game-changing addition.
