At Club América there is a problem that has become recurring: moving certain foreigners is almost impossible. AND In the case of Víctor Dávila, the obstacle has been clear for a long time: his salary. The Chilean has a salary of around 26 million pesos per year, a figure that closes doors for him inside and outside of Liga MX.
Furthermore, Dávila has refused to lower his salary to join a team where he would have more minutes. But In the last hours a real way appeared: Colo Colo showed formal interest in the forwardand America would have to make an uncomfortable decision to finally free up a foreigner’s place.
Will America pay for Dávila to leave? The detail that changes everything
According to TNT Sports Chile, Colo Colo sent América a loan offer for Víctor Dávila in which both teams would pay his salaryin percentages that the source did not reveal. But the central point is brutal: América would have to cover part of the salary even if the forward plays in Chile.
This possibility opens two readings. The first: It would be the necessary sacrifice to unblock the market and release the quota that today keeps other efforts blocked.. The second: it would be to admit that Dávila’s contract became a dead weight that forces the club to “subsidize” its own departure.
In Coapa, the dilemma is pure business: Is it advisable to pay a portion in order to free up space and gain room for maneuver? Or, on the contrary, would it be a dangerous precedent that shows poor sports planning?
