Let’s break it down. Bouanga’s talent? Undeniable. But it ain’t coming cheap. The guy’s stock has skyrocketed, and LAFC knows it. They aren’t about to let him walk away for peanuts. Nope, the numbers getting tossed around are pretty steep—both for the transfer and for Bouanga’s paycheck. And that’s where América might start to feel the burn. Sure, they’ve got the cash, but dropping millions on a player who, while crazy talented, isn’t exactly a global icon yet… well, that’s risky business. And it doesn’t stop there—if América cracks open the vault for Bouanga, they better be ready to shell out for a salary that matches.

América’s not just any club. We’re talking about one of the giants of Mexican soccer—a brand built on ambition, trophies, and, yeah, big-name signings. But here’s the thing: no matter how crazy they might be for the right talent, soccer’s a business. And in business, nobody likes making an investment that could bring more headaches than highlights.
