Report: Mexico’s Club America eye New York Red Bulls playmaker Kaku Gamarra

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Report

One of the biggest, richest clubs in Mexico has turned its gaze to prized New York Red Bulls playmaker Alejandro Romero Gamarra, better known as Kaku, according to a new report from ESPN Mexico.

Mexico City giants Club América recently sold talented young winger Diego Lainez to La Liga club Real Betis for a reported $14 million transfer fee, and charismatic manager Miguel “Piojo” Herrera has apparently identified Kaku as a suitable replacement for Las Aguilas.

Gamarra arrived at RBNY from Argentina’s Huracan a little under a year ago after a long-running transfer saga, and the left-footed Argentinean showed his value in league action – scoring six goals and 14 assists in 30 appearances (29 starts) for the Supporters’ Shield-winning Red Bulls – and in Concacaf Champions League, where he contributed to his team’s run to the tournament’s semifinals.

América won the 2018 Apertura, the first half of the current Liga MX season, and kicked off their Clausura campaign earlier this month.
