Club América Weighs Early Return of Cristian 'Chicote' Calderón for Clausura 2026

Reports say the club is reviewing his loan terms to bolster depth before World Cup call-ups.

Overview

  • Cristian Calderón has been on a one-year loan at Necaxa with an option to buy since mid-2025, according to multiple reports.
  • There is no formal offer or advanced negotiation at this stage, as América is still evaluating the move internally.
  • Coach André Jardine values Calderón’s versatility at fullback and wide midfield given his previous success in the system.
  • Outlets report the front office is studying contractual paths, including an early recall, to interrupt the Necaxa loan.
  • The potential recall is framed as contingency planning for expected Mexican national-team absences ahead of the Liguilla.
