Overview
- América has agreed to pay just over $10 million to Al-Ahli for 28-year-old Allan Saint-Maximin, with the deal pending a formal announcement and medical exams.
- Saint-Maximin’s four-year contract makes him the club’s fourth reinforcement ahead of the Apertura 2025 season.
- Head coach André Jardine called Saint-Maximin a high-level option and intends to deploy him immediately in his tactical scheme.
- The French winger will vie directly with Brian Rodríguez for the starting berth on América’s left flank.
- The deal follows failed talks for Denis Bouanga and reflects América’s urgent push to bolster its attack after a sluggish start domestically and in continental play.
