Álvaro Fidalgo is a 28-year-old Spanish attacking midfielder from Oviedo who plays for América in Mexico. He could be available for a low fee as his contract is set to expire next June. Real Betis is reportedly attempting to sign him in the final hours of the market and is the best-positioned club to do so. Fidalgo has also received proposals from Lazio and Real Sociedad. The club's focus on a midfielder is consistent with manager Pellegrini's statement that the team had more deficiencies in that area due to injuries. Fidalgo, who also holds Mexican citizenship, joined América in July 2021 for a reported €1.0 million. He has made 20 domestic league appearances this season, scoring one goal. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €8.50m.
