The status of Brian Rodríguez in the Americas was clarified by André Jardine; what does the future hold for the Uruguayan?
In a recent development, Club América has been actively negotiating a contract extension with striker Brian Rodríguez, who has yet to renew his deal, which expires in June 2026 [1][2][3]. Despite interest from Qatari clubs, including a $7 million bid from Al-Rayyan, América has held firm, valuing Rodríguez at $10 million [3].
Rodríguez's representative, Edgardo Lasalvia, and the team have not reached an agreement on a contract renewal thus far [2]. However, recent reports suggest a deal could be imminent [2][3].
Meanwhile, América has bolstered its squad with the arrival of Allan Saint-Maximin, a player of high calibre and hierarchy [4]. The availability of Saint-Maximin depends on his physical condition, altitude, and training [5].
Coach André Jardine has expressed his satisfaction with the current team, considering it strong both numerically and qualitatively [6]. He also mentioned that the team with Saint-Maximin will be strong, with two options in each position [7].
Jardine sees a competitive team, although he does not rule out further movements in signings and possible departures [8]. Memo Ochoa, a goalkeeper with a history in Spain, has expressed his desire to return to the country and has offered his services to a Second Division team [9].
America's coach emphasized that Rodríguez must find a good point for all parties involved in the contract renewal [10]. Despite the ongoing negotiations, the market for signings and possible departures remains open, with the team constantly aiming to improve the level of the squad [11].

Brian Rodríguez's contract renewal discussions with Club América have not reached an agreement, as his deal expires in June 2026. Despite his initial $7 million bid, Al-Rayyan from Qatar is not América's preferred choice for Rodríguez, who they value at $10 million.
