Mauricio Magalhaes, a 24-year-old Brazilian-Paraguayan midfielder from Palmeiras, is one of two players from the club being considered as a reinforcement for América. Magalhaes is among the names chosen by André Jardine's technical staff to strengthen the team's midfield. To facilitate the arrival of a new foreign player, América would need to free up a spot for a non-Mexican player, and José Raúl Zúñiga has been identified as the player who would leave. Magalhaes joined Palmeiras in July 2024 and his contract runs until the end of 2028. According to Transfermarkt, Magalhaes has a current market value of €12.00m. He has been capped 7 times for Brazil's U23 team, scoring one goal. In the current Campeonato Paulista season, he has made 2 appearances and provided 1 assist.
