Club América made official the signing of French winger Allan Saint-Maximin for the 2025 Liga MX Apertura, consolidating one of the most mediatic operations in Mexican soccer in recent years. The announcement came via a video on social networks, accompanied by welcome messages and the slogan “Inevitable”, which has already become a trend among fans.
At 28 years of age, Allan Saint-Maximin arrives from Al-Ahli of Saudi Arabia, in a deal valued at approximately 12 million dollars. He signed a four-year contract with an option for one more year, which could keep him in Coapa until 2029. This agreement makes him one of the highest-paid players in Liga MX, confirming the commitment of the American board to reinforce its squad with elite players.
A grand reception
On August 8, the Frenchman landed at Mexico City International Airport.
He was greeted by hundreds of fans who chanted his name, wore club t-shirts and recorded the moment for social networks.
The arrival generated thousands of reactions online and a notable increase in interaction on América’s official accounts.
In his video presentation, Allan Saint-Maximin expressed:
I believe we have the best team in the league, the best teammates, and especially the best fans
Allan Saint-Maximin
Coach André Jardine has made it clear that he wants him available as soon as possible in order to integrate him into the attacking scheme, taking advantage of his speed, dribbling and ability to generate goal-scoring moves.
Track record and expectations
Trained in France, Allan Saint-Maximin made his professional debut with Saint-Étienne before moving on to Monaco, Nice, Newcastle United, Fenerbahçe and Al-Ahli.
His time in the Premier League with Newcastle consolidated him as an explosive and unbalanced one-on-one player, qualities that he will now seek to contribute in Liga MX.
He is expected to play primarily as a left winger, although his versatility allows him to occupy both flanks.
Internal competition will be intense, with names such as Brian Rodriguez and Salvador Reyes fighting for a place.
With this signing, América seeks not only to strengthen its squad, but also to send a clear message to the rest of the league:
Going all out for the Apertura 2025 and the Concachampions.
The arrival of Allan Saint-Maximin is also projected to be a major commercial boost, with high demand expected in t-shirt and merchandising sales.
