Official: Roger Martinez leaves America

Roger Martinez ceased to be a part America officially. This weekend The club announced the departure of the Colombian striker with a message on their social networks.

It was common knowledge that Martinez was not part of America’s plans for the Opening of the 2023 Tournament, but under the contract they could not untie him until June 30, so once July 1 arrived and the document expired, the azulcrema establishment thanked the Colombian for his work at the club during the 5 years he was part of it.

“Thank you Roger Martinez for being a part of the Eagles. We wish you great success in your future projects.”, can be read on the social networks of birds.

The main reason for this decision points to the player’s performance which has been poor in recent tournaments. In fact, when demanded, he didn’t answer and the fans booed him.

An example of this was the post that his team fired a striker, which was filled with criticism of the player in the comments.

“Thanks for that?”a fan asked. “Thank you, but for care”, wrote another who seemed to answer the previous one, even though their comments were unrelated. “What a father, to become a millionaire without lifting a finger,” ironically another. “Finally he left. Dance!” commented another in a celebratory tone.

Roger Martinez came to the Eagles as a star reinforcement in 2018 but didn’t react as expected. In his last tournament with America, Clausura 2023, the 29-year-old Colombian played just 189 minutes in which he scored a goal.

After this news, a footballer can negotiate with any club he wants, so it would not be unusual to see him in this 2023 Opening defending another shirt.

It is worth remembering that America paid $10 million for the player came from Villarreal, although according to specialist website Transfermarkt, the player’s current value is only 1.5 million dollars.
