Club America is actively pursuing Spanish midfielder Carlos Alvarez Rivera, 23, from Levante, as a potential replacement for Alvaro Fidalgo for the Apertura 2026 tournament. Despite an undefeated record under coach Guillermo Almada, the Liga MX leaders seek to strengthen their central midfield. Alvarez, a Sevilla academy graduate, is valued over $17 million by Transfermarkt, posing a significant financial challenge for the Mexican club.

Club America's scouting department views Alvarez as a dynamic box-to-box midfielder capable of replicating Fidalgo's ball progression and tactical balance, having made 30 appearances last season. The club is evaluating payment structures for the transfer fee. With international roster slots available and the September 12 deadline approaching, Club America must decide whether to proceed with negotiations for Alvarez or explore alternative options.
