América is facing a turbulent period, with a mini-crisis on the pitch and a crucial Clasico Joven against Cruz Azul looming. Adding to the pressure, the club is navigating the transfer market, particularly regarding the future of Álvaro Fidalgo. The midfielder has attracted interest from Zenit, who have been closely monitoring his progress with América. While Fidalgo initially dismissed a move to Russia, recent developments suggest a change in his stance. The situation is unfolding just hours before the clash against Cruz Azul, a match América needs to win to regain momentum in the Apertura 2024. According to journalist John Sutcliffe, the situation is far from resolved. América is reportedly open to Fidalgo’s desire to play in Europe, but they are firm on their financial demands, refusing to let him leave for less than their requested amount. The ball is now in Zenit’s court. América’s coach, André Jardine, is aware of the offer for Fidalgo and acknowledges the possibility of his departure, but insists that the midfielder remains focused on the team. Jardine expressed his belief that Fidalgo is fully committed to América, stating that he would be happy to spend his entire career at the club, given his strong connection and the affection he has received since his arrival.
