America and its ‘trend’ to sign players with little activity

The Mexican Jürgen Damm is on the verge of reaching the azulcrema team. However, the 29-year-old winger does not arrive at his best level, since in the last two years he had little regularity

América has given something to talk about in recent transfer markets due to the choice of elements they have made to strengthen the team and which on some occasions has been wrong when opting for footballers who have had little or no activity with their previous clubs .

The Mexican Jürgen Damm is close to reaching the azulcrema team. However, the 29-year-old winger does not arrive at his best level, since in the last two years he had little regularity with Atlanta United and the last six months were spent training in the “B” team.

With the future arrival of Damm to the Águilas del América, at ESPN Digital we present other players who have arrived at the club after having little activity.

Giovanni dos Santos

In the summer of 2019, the Mexican midfielder became the media signing of the Coapa team and followed in the footsteps that his father, the historic Zizinho, had in his time. However, the footballer arrived at the club with his damaged figure label, because in the Los Angeles Galaxy the footballer ceased to be a franchise player and in recent months he became a slab for the United States team, since he did not want to renew it and He opened the doors for her to come out.

Sergio Diaz

In the summer of 2020, Real Madrid made a controversial signing with the arrival of Sergio Díaz, the Paraguayan whose style of play was compared to that of Sergio ‘Kün Agüero’. However, this comparison was far from what was seen on the field, since the soccer player injured his knee in 2016 and since then his career has plummeted.

Díaz went through CD Lugo, Corinthias, Cerro Porteño and later América, where he had no activity and his time at El Nido was an anecdote. Before arriving he went through Cerro Porteño and Corinthinas with few minutes played.

Nicholas Castillo

The Paraguayan earned the scorer label during his time at the Pumas and lost it when in 2018 he decided to sign with Benfica de Portugal, a club with which he failed to shine and only a year later he sought his departure from the Eagles.

Nico’s time in Europe was short-lived, because America appeared on the horizon, which decided to sign him, despite the few minutes he had at the club, a decision that seemed correct, but his time with the team was tragic, since He suffered from important injuries that cut short his career and prevented him from shining again.

Leo Suarez

The 26-year-old player arrived in Mexico in 2020, but before that he came from seasons of irregularity due to the two injuries he suffered with Villarreal, first a knee injury that kept him away for two months and later a torn ligament that he kept him out for half a year.

After the Submarine, the player was in Valladolid and later in Mallorca, where he did not manage to add more than 1,200 minutes in two years and his departure from Villarreal occurred at the beginning of the 2019-2020 campaign.

Jorge Meré

The last player to arrive at America with little participation in his club, prior to signing with America. America opted for the Spanish defender at the request of Santiago Solari. However, the 25-year-old center-back arrived with few minutes of activity.

During the first half of last season, Meré only played eight games and was only active for three minutes between matchdays 9 and 17.
