Mosquera Close To Club America

For once, I'm glad we're getting an above average defender. He's been solid throughout his career in Mexico winning the league title in 2006 with Pachuca before heading off to Spain. Defense has always been our problem, this a start.




Sevilla will finally be able to offload defender Aquivaldo Mosquera after spending the last few months searching for potential buyers.

The Andalucian outfit had put the Colombian on the transfer list as soon as the 2008-09 season ended and the player’s agent, Mariano Torres, has exclusively told Goal.com Spain that his client could now complete his switch to Mexican outfit CF America within the next 48 hours.

“America have already made a counter-offer and we are very close [to an agreement],” he said.

“The only thing missing now is the exchange of documents and as such, I believe that in a period of no longer than 24 to 48 hours, we will have some form of agreement,” he continued, before going on to add that Sevilla’s only condition was that the move be made permanent and not a loan deal as was first discussed.

Torres then went on to reveal that the Aztec Eagles had initially decided to drop their pursuit for the 28-year-old.

“We had dropped the negotiations but the talks picked up because I think America did not find another player who could fit Aquivaldo’s characteristics,” he affirmed.

“It was during the weekend that the club sought to reopen negotiations and now things are at the advanced stages. We are now only discussing the player’s personal terms. The deal is close and I do not believe there will be anymore complications.”
