Overview

  • Club América issued an official farewell Friday night, confirming Aguirre's exit following a week of negotiations and roster juggling.
  • The clubs reached a purchase agreement on Thursday, clearing the way for Aguirre to complete tests and finalize his deal with Tigres.
  • Tigres plan to deregister Nicolás Ibáñez and find him a new club, with options discussed in MLS and Argentina and reported interest from New York Red Bulls, Atlético San Luis and Atlas.
  • América is reported to be reactivating interest in Puebla forward Emiliano Gómez as a potential addition, with Brazilian teams also pursuing the player.
