The team suffered a loss with the departure of Diego Valdés, who has been classified as the first transfer-listed player. The club's management would have informed the player that he is not in their plans for the upcoming tournament, so he will have to look for another team to continue his career. Valdés' loss of prominence in América has been evident in recent times, mainly due to injuries that kept him away from the first team since the end of last year, being barely considered even in the final stretch of the three-time championship.
During this season, Valdés was one of the players who was expected to leave and relinquish his foreign player spot to new signings. Although he had agreed to transfer to Toluca, he decided to stay in the capital to try to regain the team's trust. However, his performance has not been as expected, and his recent injury has been a low point for him. Along with Valdés, Néstor Araujo and Javario Dilrosun have also been included in the list of departures to make room for new players.
Since his arrival at América, Valdés, despite having a great reputation, has shown flashes of good football, standing out in his first season with an outstanding participation. Although the team has recently suffered a drop in performance in the Clausura 2025 Tournament, going without a win in three matches and losing the lead, their aspirations for the four-time championship remain intact, although facing significant absences in the squad. In 135 matches, Valdés has scored 38 goals and provided 31 assists, contributing to the conquest of three Liga MX titles, one Campeón de Campeones, one Liga MX Supercup, and one Campeones Cup.
