Facundo Pellistri, a 23-year-old Uruguayan winger, is reportedly high on Club América's list as they look to strengthen their wing positions. Initially, the Mexican club attempted to acquire Denis Bouanga from Los Angeles FC, but that did not materialize, leading them to consider Pellistri. Pellistri is a key player for Panathinaikos, with whom he has a contract until the summer of 2028. Club América would need to invest significantly as Panathinaikos had previously spent around 6 million euros to acquire 50% of Pellistri's rights.

According to a report from Mexico, Club América has Facundo Pellistri on their radar as a potential replacement for Brian Rodriguez, who is leaving to play in Europe. The attributes of the Uruguayan winger particularly appeal to the team's coach, André Jardine, who has recommended that the club's management initiate exploratory talks with the player's representatives. Pellistri is under contract with Panathinaikos until 2028 and in his first year with the club, he made 35 appearances, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
