The story between Allan Saint-Maximin and CF América has already come to an end. Having arrived last summer, the French winger has left the club after just a few months.

The reason is serious. His children were victims of racism, a situation the player could not tolerate. After spells in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the Frenchman had moved to Mexico. CF América had invested over €10 million to sign him. On the pitch, his record is clear.
15 matches, 3 goals, and 2 assists.

But off the pitch, the situation became unbearable. In a powerful statement, Saint-Maximin explained that while he can handle criticism directed at himself, he would never accept attacks against his children. He emphasized that respect must be a core value.
