In recent hours there has been a lot of speculation about the possible arrival of Thiago Alcántara to América after the imminent departure of Álvaro Fidalgo from the azulcrema team.
In the event that Álvaro Fidalgo leaves América to play in European football, Thiago Alcántara would be the one chosen by the Águilas board to take Maguito’s place.
According to information from Caliente TV, Santiago Baños would have already met with the Liverpool player from England to begin negotiations for his transfer to Mexican soccer.
Who is Thiago Alcántara, the possible replacement for Álvaro Fidalgo in América?
Thiago Alcántara, possible replacement for Álvaro Fidalgo in América, is a 32-year-old footballer with dual nationality (Spanish and Brazilian) who plays as a midfielder for Liverpool in England.
Like Álvaro Fidalgo, still a player for América, Thiago Alcántara played in the second division of Spanish soccer, but he did so with Barcelona B.
He debuted with the Barcelona first team on January 5, 2010 and remained with the Catalans until 2013, when he signed for Bayern Munich. And seven years later, the Spanish National Team midfielder reached an agreement with Liverpool.
