Club América Targets Toluca’s Jesús “Canelo” Angulo in Potential Transfer
Club América is intensely pursuing squad changes following their Quarterfinal elimination by Rayados de Monterrey in the previous tournament,and has identified Jesús Angulo of Toluca as a key reinforcement target for the Closing 2026 season.
Sporting President Santiago Baños is leading the search for players who can add creativity and attacking power to the team. Journalist David Medrano reported that Angulo, currently playing for the Red Devils of Toluca, is a viable option for América.
The potential move is linked to América’s relationship with Pitz Group, an agency that has previously faced scrutiny for its ties to the club’s board. Angulo, who wears the number 10 for Toluca, has impressed with his performance and ability to create offensive opportunities, making him an attractive prospect for américa’s rebuilding project.
However, securing Angulo will require a significant investment. He is currently under contract with Toluca until the summer of 2027, presenting a potential obstacle to a swift transfer.américa’s board will need to determine if the cost aligns with the value Angulo could bring to the team.
