Report: Club fear that centre-back could leave amidst Tottenham interest
Mexican-language print According to reports, Club America is concerned that center back Sebastian Caceres could leave them soon due to interest from teams like Tottenham.
Although Caceres has been a standout player in the Mexican top division for a number of years, it now seems that his performances for the Uruguay national team have drawn the interest of European clubs.
Football Insider reported a few days ago that Tottenham is considering a move for the 24-year-old after being impressed by his performance in the 2-0 victory over Brazil during the international break.
The report also stated that, in advance of the transfer window, Man United, Newcastle, Fulham, and West Ham are keeping an eye on the defender.
Caceres is anticipated to depart due to Tottenham’s interest:
According to Record, many Club America employees believe that Caceres’ departure is “not far away,” and the club is “already getting the idea” that the player may depart sooner rather than later.
This is a result of the Mexican club knowing that the Uruguayan is drawing interest from clubs in Europe, namely Tottenham and Sevilla, who are currently evaluating the player.
According to the article, Club America has not yet received “anything formal,” but they wouldn’t be shocked if one did in the near future.

Tottenham players did not want to pass the ball to one particular teammate against Fulham
James Maw thinks that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was being avoided by Tottenham players by trying to pass the ball to him.
Hojbjerg’s status has declined under Ange Postecoglou, who is not sufficiently impressed with the Dane.
Ange prefers to start midfielders Pape Matar Sarr and Bissouma.
But Hojbjerg had a unique chance to start against Fulham because of Bissouma’s suspension against Luton.
The seasoned midfield player also had a “outstanding” performance. He did a good job filling in for Bissouma and had strong defensive play.
However, Maw occasionally observed that certain members of his Spurs team were not passing the ball to him.
Concerning the 28-year-old, he stated:
Yes, there were a few instances where you could see the center backs trying to move inside before realizing it was [Pierre-Emile] Hojberg. They would then kind of reposition themselves and attempt a slightly different pass.
“Yeah, he was really good, and I believe it kind of sends a message to those other fringe players that even though you might not get a chance to play for a while or even start one, you can still play really well.”
Hojbjerg’s lack of playing time has been linked to a January move away. Atletico Madrid and Juventus, among others, are expressing a strong desire to sign him.
Having said that, Spurs might not let him go because they lack midfield options and because Bissouma and Sarr could miss up to six weeks of action because of the approaching AFCON.
Hojbjerg has shown himself to be a dependable midfield player, and Spurs could use his services.
