As the minutes continue their relentless march, the rumors about Alvaro Fidalgo's departure increase, just as was reported 48 hours ago in La Opinion, suggesting that the offers from Sevilla and Valencia are more enticing to the Spanish midfielder than to be able to play for Mexico in the next World Cup.

This was reported again this Friday in several Mexican media outlets, where it is claimed that the America board has accelerated the procedures to sign Mexican midfielder Obed Vargas from the Seattle Sounders, who would be the natural replacement for Fidalgo.

The information suggests that the desire to return to his family and find an offer that will bring America profits for the highly sought-after player are tipping the scales in favor of remaining in Mexican soccer and playing for the Eagles as a naturalized citizen, which would automatically give him the opportunity to compete for a place on the Mexican national team that will play in the 2026 World Cup to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

So the decision will not be delayed beyond the next few hours, but the trend is that Fidalgo will leave America and free up one of the ten slots they have for players not born in Mexico, which includes Uruguayans Sebastian Caceres, Rodrigo Aguirre, and Brian Rodriguez, Colombians Cristian Borja and Jose Zuniga, Chileans Victor Davila and Igor Lichnovsky, Spaniard Alvaro Fidalgo himself, Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin, and Dutchman Javairo Dilrosun. According to unofficial sources close to Fidalgo, he stated that he is facing the dilemma of his life, as he has shown great interest in returning to his country after almost five years in Mexico, with offers from Spanish teams such as Valencia CF and Sevilla FC. The surprising thing is that all reports assumed that America would not allow one of its key players of the last five years to remain permanently, but surprisingly, the board is open to any negotiation and is listening to offers from any European team.This decision would impact the unofficial possibility that Javier Aguirre would consider Fidalgo for the Mexican national team starting in February, when he would legally be allowed to represent El Tri under FIFA regulations. The Spaniard already has his Mexican naturalization papers, but FIFA requires five years of uninterrupted residency in a country for any foreign player who wants to represent another nation. Fidalgo will have to weigh all the options and consider whether the idea of ??playing for Mexico in the next World Cup truly appeals to him, although at the moment no one can guarantee him a spot on the final roster, just as with the Mexican-Argentine German Berterame or the Mexican-Colombian Julian Quinones. Another factor mentioned by Fidalgo's inner circle is family. While the Spaniard agreed to the naturalization process as a way of thanking this country where very important things have happened to him, and also thinking that In the near future, he could help America by not using a non-Mexican player slot once he receives his naturalization papers, but the idea of ??returning to Spain is on the player's mind.
