Henry Martín Requests Transfer From Club América

Contract length and salary complicate a possible switch to promoted Atlante.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say the América captain asked to be placed on the transfer list before the quarterfinal series against Pumas, and no club has announced a deal.
  • Atlante, newly back in Liga MX under coach Miguel Herrera, is pursuing Martín and defender Néstor Araujo to add experience to its roster.
  • Araujo can negotiate directly because his América contract is nearing its end, while Martín remains tied to América through 2027.
  • Money is a hurdle for any Martín move, with reports citing a current salary near $3.5 million per year and a prior offer from San Diego FC around $6 million.
  • In a separate move reported this week, Atlante is set to take América left back Thiago Espinosa on a season-long loan, highlighting active talks between the clubs.
