What he cannot produce, he buys in Tijuana. Xolos has become the “official supplier” of reinforcements for America, as they are more than 10 players in just over five years, they’ve left the northern border to wear the Eagles shirt, with Mauro Lainez and Jordan Silva being the most recent.
Transfers from America that came from Xolos
The history of this relationship between Xolos and América began in 2014, when the Paraguayan defender Pablo Aguilar He was transferred to the Eagles where he became a benchmark-winning League and Concacaf championships.
Then they were Darío Benedetto and Cristian Pellerano. The former scored 26 annotations in all competitions he played in a year and a half as Azulcrema, while the containment failed to be the expected player and he only spent one semester (11 games) in Coapa.
For the Apertura came 2015 Javier Güemez, but like Pellerano, he failed to consolidate and left the Clausura 2017 club.
Guido Rodríguez, the most successful of all
With just one year in Mexican football in the Xolos jersey, Guido Rodríguez went to América in the Apertura 2017 And from day one, he became a benchmark as he was the pillar for the Eagles to add another league title to the Apertura 2018, an MX Cup and a Champion of Champions, and from there to Europe with Betis from Spain.
Together with Guido also arrived Carlos Vargas, a young defender who started having flashes with Xolos, which even led him to the Mexican National Team led by Juan Carlos Osorio, but in America he couldn’t stand out and emigrated to Morelia after five tournaments.
3×1 Combo at Clausura 2018
During the winter market of 2018, the guidelines of the America and Tijuana agreed to an exchange of players, including Pablo Aguilar’s return to the border in return Henry Martín, Joe Corona and Emanuel Aguilera.
Corona was just two tournaments with 31 league and cup games, in addition to being the champion in the Apertura 2018, his last tournament, from there he returned to Tijuana and then immigrated to MLS.
Henry and Aguilera will stay in America. The former is one of the team’s main scorers and the latter a defensive pillar as well as the official penalty collector.
Two years later he arrived in Coapa Luis Fuentes, an experienced advocate who only came for a six-month loan and who ended up staying longer thanks to his participation and leadership.
Lainez and Jordan Silva, the latter
Finally, for this Clausura 2021, in the restructuring of the América squad already without Miguel Herrera (who also led both clubs) at the helm, the Eagles again used their relationship with Tijuana to Mauro Lainez and Jordan Silva.
The fact is, you don’t have to worry.
