The boards of directors of America and Toluca are reportedly closing to finalizing a swap of two players to strengthen their respective squads for the Clausura 2026 tournament. Forward Ralph Orquin would move to the two-time champions of the State of Mexico, and Brian Garcia would join Las Aguilas.

The negotiation is about to be completed, even though Brian Garcia is currently on loan to Pachuca and played for Los Tuzos last season. He would still be used as part of the swap, as the America coaching staff is very interested in him.

According to press reports, both boards are interested in the move, but America is more keen, especially because they want to bolster the right side of their lineup, where they don't have complete confidence in Kevin Alvarez.

While America is ready to negotiate the transfer of forward Ralph Orquin, who played in the Clausura In 2025, he was with Bravos de Juarez and sought an opportunity in the America attack during the 2024 Apertura tournament, but he was never able to establish himself. Now, they hope that with another learning tournament, he can become a regular starter. There are many options for completing the negotiation, but first, Toluca must cancel the loan of the player known as "Guamerucito" to Pachuca, thus allowing this defender to join the team and compete with Kevin Alvarez and Dagoberto Espinoza, as well as Israel Reyes, which is why there is significant interest in acquiring his services. Due to Kevin Alvarez's poor form, America's coach, Andre Jardine, has had to rely on Israel Reyes, but the fact that he has one foot in the 2026 World Cup and that he will be ineligible to play in Liga MX starting in April has generated interest in expediting the negotiation. Meanwhile, America is preparing to face the tournament with Rodrigo as their only new signing. Dourado, a Brazilian defender who was part of the Amazonian team that won the Olympic gold medal in Tokyo 2020 under the leadership of Andre Jardine,who later brought him to Atletico San Luis and now he will be part of the Eagles.
