Club América are still looking for a center-back and have now gotten a glimpse of their new Bruno Valdez, although he would have to pay a lot of money for it.
After what has been seen in the League Cup and in the first five days of the Apertura 2023, it is clear that they need to strengthen their central defense.
That’s why they already have their new Bruno Valdez, the Paraguayan Junior Alonso, who plays in European football, specifically in Krasnodar, Russia.
According to journalist Fernando Esquivel, Club America is considering signing Junior Alonso, whom they estimate at between $6 million and $8 million (between 102 million and 136 million pesos) from Russia.
Club America is banking everything on Junior Alonso, who would be their new Bruno Valdez
According to the journalist’s information, Junior Alonso’s arrival at Club America could happen very soon if everyone agrees, as there is a will on all sides.
His agent or any intermediary would have offered him to the Club America board, on top of the fact that the Russian team is willing to negotiate for him.
Finally, the Paraguayan soccer player would be perfectly willing to leave Russian football and join Club América, one of the most important teams in Mexico and the continent.
Perhaps the only obstacle is the price, as from Russia he’s rated quite highly for a 30-year-old player, although he’s still one of the Eagles’ best options.
Who is Junior Alonso, the defender who would be Club America’s new Bruno Valdez?
Junior Alonso is a Paraguayan soccer player who works as a central defender, a position Club América needs to strengthen.
He started his career with Club Cerro Porteo in his native Paraguay before making the leap to Europe with Lille in France.
He had a brief stint with Celta de Vigo, later returning to America to play for Boca Juniors in Argentina and later Palmeiras in Brazil.
This year he returned to European football with Russia’s Krasnodar, with whom he has only played five league games.
He has been a member of the Paraguayan national team since 2013 and was part of the Guarani team in the World Cup qualifiers in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2015.
