With the departure of heroic villain Rubens Sambueza and the probable sale of Darwin Quintero, Liga MX’s Club America is rumored to be interested in the signing of Argentine Sebastian Blanco. The signing of the 28 year old San Lorenzo attacking midfielder will fill the hole left by Sambueza who recently transferred to Toluca, plus reinforce a midfield in what will be America’s title hopes in 2017.

With one month left in the international signing season, it will interested to note how many more players the Aguilas are linked to.
