Guido Rodríguez and José 'Pantera' Zúñiga are expected to be América's reinforcements for the 2025 Apertura.

Ahead of the 2025 Apertura tournament, Club América is seeking new reinforcements to boost the squad's competitiveness and keep it in contention for the title.

In this context, the names of Guido Rodríguez and José “La Pantera” Zúñiga have gained traction in recent hours as possible additions to the team led by André Jardine.

On the one hand, the return of Guido Rodríguez has been a constant topic of market rumors. The Argentine midfielder, who currently plays for West Ham in England, is no longer in manager Graham Potter 's plans and is reportedly looking for a way out.

Although his return to América seemed possible, recent sources indicate that Tigres would be the best-positioned team to sign him, even offering him a contract far superior to the one he received during his time at Coapa . For now, his arrival at América seems remote.

José Zúñiga 's situation, on the other hand, is different. The Colombian forward, who starred with Xolos de Tijuana and was one of the top scorers in the 2025 Clausura , is reportedly very close to becoming a new Azulcrema player.

Various media outlets have reported that negotiations are in an advanced stage and that only details are needed to complete the deal.

Zúñiga , nicknamed “The Panther,” scored 12 goals in the previous tournament and his physical power has made him one of the most unbalanced forwards in the championship.

América reportedly offered a sum close to $3 million for his transfer , in a permanent deal. He would also be offered a two-year contract .

With the possible arrival of the Colombian striker, the Eagles would add dynamism and scoring power to their offense.

The board is still evaluating more reinforcements, but if Zúñiga 's incorporation is finalized, the club would take an important step in its preparation for the 2025 Apertura .
