Diego Valdés is having a good time at América. The Chilean has played 13 games in the current tournament where he has four goals and the same number of assists, being one of the best players in Liga MX. The midfielder has however expressed his desire to play in Europe, hoping that the doors will soon open for him after a long career in Mexican soccer.

“Every tournament that ends, I emphasize to those who work with me that if I have an option to go to Europe or to leagues in which they are watched more in Chile, I would like to be there. They are working on it. If something comes up in Europe, hopefully it will be soon, I’ve been in Mexico for seven or eight years now and I’d like to play in another league” Valdés told Radio ADN.
