Overview
- Mexican outlets El Imparcial and RÉCORD report that América has put Cristian “Chicote” Calderón back on its radar, with no formal offer or advanced negotiations in place.
- Calderón is on a one-year loan at Necaxa with an option to buy, and América is reviewing the loan clauses for a possible early return, per Fox Sports reporting cited by RÉCORD.
- The consideration is driven by roster coverage for the World Cup calendar, with estimates that América could lose up to four Mexican players before the Liguilla.
- Coach André Jardine values Calderón’s ability to play fullback or wide midfield, and his bicampeón experience is viewed as minimizing reintegration time.
- Any move depends on contractual conditions, current squad needs, and sign-off from the technical staff, with no official announcement from the club so far.
