América has signed midfielder Yeison Guzmán, 27, on a one-year loan from Fortaleza of Brazil, the team announced. The deal includes a purchase option, according to the announcement.
The addition of Guzmán brings América’s total number of reinforcements to six as the club prepares for the challenges of the 2026 season. The team intends to contend for a league title and earn a spot in the South American Cup, the team said.
Why It Matters
This signing indicates América’s commitment to strengthening its midfield ahead of a crucial season. The loan structure with a purchase option allows the club to evaluate Guzmán’s performance before committing to a permanent transfer, offering financial flexibility. The pursuit of both domestic and continental success requires a deep and talented squad, and Guzmán’s arrival contributes to that goal.
Guzmán’s experience playing for Fortaleza in Brazil’s top flight could prove valuable for América. The Brazilian league is known for its technical and tactical demands, and a player accustomed to that environment may adapt quickly to the challenges of South American competition.
“There are now six reinforcements America to face the challenges of 2026,” the team stated.
