Overview

• Negotiations have been paused after América failed to free a 'No Formado' slot currently held by Javairo Dilrosun.
• Bouanga demanded a near $7 million annual salary and LAFC set a minimum $15 million transfer fee, driving the four-year cost to about $45 million.
• LAFC declined América’s proposal involving Dilrosun and rejected an option to extend his loan, eliminating the potential swap remedy.
• Frustrated by the impasse, América has shifted its scouting to other MLS forwards to reinforce its attack.
• Martín Ojeda and Luca Orellano have emerged as leading alternatives given their lower transfer values and salary expectations.
