According to Carlos Ponce de León, Tigres and Toluca are interested in signing defender Ralph Orquin for the Clausura 2026, with both clubs reportedly considering offering him a more prominent role. The 22-year-old's contract with América is due to expire in June 2026. Fox Sports reported that América offered Orquin a multi-year renewal until 2028. According to Julio Ibáñez of TUDN, the player's new representative, Gerardo Sánchez, has interfered in the negotiations. The report from Ibáñez added that the agent promised to secure a move to Europe for Orquin if he does not sign the extension, which would allow him to leave as a free agent in the summer. The defender holds both Mexican and United States citizenship, joined América in July 2023 and has made two appearances in the Liga MX Apertura this season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.50m.
