América Nears Deal for Rodrigo Dourado as First Clausura 2026 Reinforcement

Coach André Jardine targeted the 31-year-old to steady América’s midfield.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report América and Atlético San Luis have an agreement and are finalizing documentation, with a two-year contract plus option expected for Dourado.
  • Jardine, who previously worked with Dourado at San Luis, pushed for the move to add experience and balance in the center of the pitch.
  • To meet Liga MX foreign-player limits, reports indicate América will move Igor Lichnovsky to free a registration slot for the Brazilian.
  • Bolavip reports América purchased Dourado’s full registration for roughly $3 million, a figure not officially confirmed by the clubs.
  • The holding midfielder has 127 appearances for San Luis since 2022 and reports indicate he could be available for América’s early-January league opener and a calendar that also includes the Concacaf Champions Cup.
