# Luis Chávez transfer interest between Dynamo Moscow and Club > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/luis-chvez-transfer-interest-between-dynamo-moscow-and-club > Updated: 2026-09-07T23:07:49.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 2. The transfer status of Mexican midfielder Luis Chávez remains a focal point of interest between Dynamo Moscow and Club América. Initially, Dynamo Moscow sought to extend Chávez’s contract by two years to protect their investment before his agreement expires in June 2027, particularly following his recovery from a serious knee injury. While Club América had previously maintained informal contact with the player’s circle, the club later intensified its efforts, exploring options for a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligatory purchase clause to bring the 28-year-old back to Mexico. However, negotiations for Chávez face “financial and regulatory complexities regarding FIFA transfer rules for Russian clubs.” As Club América manages several high-profile movements to strengthen its squad for the Apertura 2026 tournament, the pursuit of Chávez continues alongside other strategic reinforcements. The club has reportedly reached an agreement to sign Iván Tona from Xolos de Tijuana to bolster the defensive midfield position at the request of coach Guillermo Almada. Additionally, the club has finalized the signing of 24-year-old Argentine defender Santiago Ramos Mingo from EC Bahia for approximately $10 million USD. While the club remains interested in players like David Alaba, his high salary and injury history have reportedly made such a move less of a priority for the board. Recent squad restructuring has also seen the arrival of Uruguayan defender Santiago Bueno on a one-year loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers following the departure of Sebastián Cáceres. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Club América targets Ramos Mingo and Tona to bolster squad Club América is reinforcing its squad for the Apertura 2026, securing Argentine defender Santiago Ramos Mingo and midfielder Iván Tona while evaluating options like David Alaba. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/club-amrica-targets-luis-chvez-and-liga-mx-players-for-reinforcements ### 2026-08-24: Dynamo Moscow seeks contract extension for Luis Chávez Dynamo Moscow intends to offer Mexican midfielder Luis Chávez a two-year contract extension, amid reported interest from Club América. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dynamo-moscow-seeks-contract-extension-for-luis-chvez --- Cite as: Luis Chávez transfer interest between Dynamo Moscow and Club.
