América manager Andre Jardine says Brian Rodríguez is happy at the club but has a price, as Inter Miami and Al Rayyan express interest in the in-form Uruguayan winger.
Club América manager André Jardine has addressed swirling transfer rumors around star winger Brian Rodríguez, making it clear that Las Águilas will only sell if their valuation is met—and that the Uruguayan remains happy in Mexico City despite interest from abroad.
Rodríguez, who is off to a flying start in the Apertura 2025 with two goals and one assist, was instrumental in América’s recent 3-1 win over Tijuana. The 24-year-old’s impressive form hasn’t gone unnoticed, with both Inter Miami and Qatari side Al Rayyan showing concrete interest.
While Al Rayyan are believed to have already tabled a $7 million bid, Jardine confirmed that América have placed a $10 million price tag on Rodríguez — and have no plans to entertain lowball offers.
Brian is a top-level player—not just for América, but for any team,” Jardine told reporters. “He’s still developing, he’s a national team player, and like everyone here, he has a price. If a club wants him, they’ll have to meet that price.
Jardine also acknowledged the complexity of losing a key player midseason, referencing past challenges like the sale of Julián Quiñones, whose exit was driven by a financially overwhelming offer the club couldn’t match.
Transfers can influence a player’s mindset. With someone like Quiñones, the offer was three times what we could match. We couldn’t compete with that level of freedom and money,” Jardine explained.
While Rodríguez is reportedly content and unfazed by the speculation, América are preparing behind the scenes—in case a suitor does meet the asking price.
Meanwhile, another player whose future is uncertain is Javairô Dilrosun, currently on loan at LAFC. Reports indicate the MLS club is unlikely to activate the purchase clause, and Jardine has made it clear the Dutch winger does not feature in his long-term plans.
Should Dilrosun return to Coapa, the club is expected to seek a new destination for him immediately, potentially freeing up room for another incoming transfer.
With three new signings already secured and two loanees recalled, Jardine confirmed that América are targeting one final addition to complete their summer business.
The idea is to be precise — bring in someone who not only fits our footballing needs but also adds to the locker room. We’ve done our research. We’ve faced these players before, asked around, and we believe we’ve chosen well so far.
América will now shift their focus to the Campeón de Campeones match this Sunday, when they face Toluca at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles. With speculation swirling around key players, Jardine will hope the squad’s full attention is on securing another piece of silverware.
