América has opened conversations for Borja Iglesias and Nelson Deossa as it pushes ahead with plans to strengthen Guillermo Almada’s squad. The club has already called Borja Iglesias’s representatives to ask whether he is interested in coming to México, a first check that could turn into formal talks if the answer is yes.
That is why Borja Iglesias is being searched now: América has put him among its priority targets and is testing the ground before making a formal move. The Spanish forward is currently at Celta de Vigo, and his experience, his ability to play with his back to goal and his knack for creating space are all seen as a fit for what Almada wants.
The same market also keeps Nelson Deossa in play, and his case is more complicated. He wants to leave Betis, but Betis is still leaving open the possibility of a full sale if it receives a proposal that meets its expectations. There is also more than one suitor in Brasil, which adds pressure to any negotiation and makes the route to América less direct than the club would like.
América’s search sits inside a broader transfer window that matters for the club and a stage of directiva renewal, which helps explain why the names have moved quickly onto the table. Even so, the move is still far away and complicated, and the next step depends on Borja Iglesias giving a positive response and on whether any proposal for Deossa is strong enough to satisfy Betis.
For now, América has done the first serious work: it has identified the two players, opened conversations and tested one of them directly. What happens next is simple enough to describe and difficult enough to complete — Borja Iglesias must say yes to México, and Deossa must become affordable enough for Betis to talk seriously.
