Allan Saint-Maximin delivers a powerful statement, equating America to Real Madrid's status within the continent.
Allan Saint-Maximin Joins Club América in a High-Profile Transfer
Allan Saint-Maximin, a French professional footballer known for his explosive speed and skillful dribbling, has joined Club América in Mexico's Liga MX. The winger, who previously played for Newcastle United in the English Premier League, Fenerbahçe in Turkey, and Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia, signed a contract reportedly worth around €13-30 million with a duration of two to four years plus an option for one more year [1][2][3][4].
Club América, one of the most successful and popular teams in Mexico, holds 16 league titles, making it the winningest club in Mexican football. For Saint-Maximin, the move to América is a significant one, as he considers the club to be the "Real Madrid" of America. In a recent interview conducted by the Eagles of America's club, he compared his new team to the Spanish powerhouse [5].
While Club América's stature is strong within Mexico and CONCACAF, it does not yet match the global dominance of Real Madrid. The Spanish club boasts a richer history of international titles, greater financial resources, and a wider global fanbase. However, for Mexican football, Saint-Maximin's move to América is a major asset and a hopeful catalyst for title ambitions in the 2025 Apertura season [2][4].
As of late August 2025, Saint-Maximin has not yet debuted for Club América due to fitness and adaptation considerations, but his arrival is seen as a statement of intent by the club to be competitive domestically and attract star talent to Liga MX. The footballer has expressed his excitement about his first hours in Mexico and is eager to make his debut with the Coapa team [5].
