América de Cali aims this year to make up for the poor results of last season, in which it was only able to access home runs and qualify for the Copa Suramericana by reclassification.
For this reason, several of the players who made up the squad in the winger and striker positions left the institution and it is important to replace them with players who at least give the impression that they can contribute.
The executive president, Mauricio Romero, and the coach Juan Carlos Osorio confirmed that they are looking for two foreigners, and this Saturday FUTBOLRED met with a source in the Santander capital that contacts with the Argentine Alejandro Quintana -former Bucaramanga– have not been dropped. , who would even already have the tickets to arrive in Cali next week and undergo medical exams to advance everything related to his one-year loan agreement with a purchase option.
Initially, the 29-year-old had ruled out the option of playing in the red box, but the dialogue seemed to have taken a different turn.
Despite the fact that his goalscoring quota has not been high in Colombia (7 goals in 29 games), Quintana gave a good impression on the occasions in which he faced the Valle del Cauca team, in one of which he scored on September 25, in victory 2 -1 of the ‘leopards’ at home. In Guabirá, from Bolivia, he was present with 10 goals in 22 commitments.
The executive president, Mauricio Romero, acknowledged that it has not been easy to finish the book of contracts, but they hope to close it next week. The ‘devils’ will debut in the BetPlay I-2022 League on Thursday, January 20 (8:05 pm) against Envigado at the Pascual Guerrero Stadium.
