Overview
- Brazilian journalist Venê Casagrande and Mexican outlets report a two-year agreement with an option after América bought Dourado’s registration for about $3 million.
- Both clubs are finalizing documentation, and video published in Mexico shows Dourado leaving Atlético San Luis facilities as he prepares to switch teams.
- To register the Brazilian, América is expected to clear a non‑Mexican slot, with reports naming defender Igor Lichnovsky as the likeliest exit.
- Coach André Jardine, who previously managed Dourado at San Luis, pushed for the move to add balance in defensive midfield.
- Dourado, 31, has 127 appearances for San Luis since 2022, and América is targeting his availability for the Jan. 9 league opener at Tijuana.
