When asked about interest from Liga MX's Club América regarding a possible move, LAFC forward Denis Bouanga left his future up for speculation.
"Whatever has to happen regarding my future will happen, that's what I think," he told reporters at a press conference. "For now, I'm just trying to stay focused here because I have a match every four days."

According to reports from Mexico, Club América’s front office is considering opening negotiations with Bouanga now that the team is in Los Angeles to play the Campeón de Campeones match against Toluca on Sunday.
Currently, LAFC has Javairo Dilrosun – a Club América player – on loan, but the deal is about to expire. The MLS side holds a purchase option, which could potentially be used as part of a swap deal to bring the Gabonese forward to Mexico.

Club America didn't mention Bouanga by name, but did reveal the club is looking to add another player.
“We’re still looking for one more signing. We need to be assertive; we want to make the squad even stronger than it already is,” said the Brazilian head coach.

Bouanga knocked Club América out of the Club World Cup contention in a qualifier, scoring the goal that knocked the Liga MX side out of the tournament held this summer. Now, the Gabonese forward could be packing his bags to join Las Águilas – a player who has been heavily requested by the club’s fans in recent weeks, although the topic had started to fade away since both parties failed to reach an agreement prior to the start of the Apertura 2025. Now, things could be reignited.
