After Following a strong showing at the 2026 World Cup, Club América defender Israel Reyes drew interest from Serie A side AS Roma. Late‑July Late-July reports noted an informal US$5 million inquiry, which América dismissed as mere monitoring. On 27 July July, Roma submitted a US$3 million offer that América rejected, citing an $8 million valuation. América later indicated it could lower its asking price to about $6.5 million but maintained a counter‑proposal counter-proposal of $5 million with a 50 percent share of any future economic rights. Talks continued without a deal. In early August August, Reyes said stated the World Cup boosted his confidence and he aims aimed to secure a regular starting role for América in the Apertura 2026 season. Roma’s recent €15 million signing of Greek centre‑back centre-back Konstantinos Koulierakis has stalled the pursuit of Reyes, with the clubs expected to reach a decision before the Serie A transfer‑window transfer window deadline on 1 September. By late August, Reyes expressed a desire to play in Europe to test himself against the world’s best, noting that the World Cup highlighted the elite level of international players. Despite the interest from clubs like AS Roma, Reyes is currently expected to remain with Club América through the end of the year as the team pursues the Liga MX title. He remains under contract with the club until 2028.
