The night of March 5, Renato Ibarra was taken into custody as he was charged with an attempted feminicide, domestic violence and abortion. Club America breaks ties with Ibarra and loses another offensive player.
After Ibarra was taken into custody, Club America sent an official statement saying they would on a final verdict. Meanwhile the club said they are taking a stance against gender violence.
A couple of days after, a video circulated on social media showing how Ibarra insulted his wife Lucely Chala.
Even though America can’t 100% release Ibarra because of his contract, America sent another official statement saying Ibarra was separated from the club. Eight minutes after, Ibarra’s wife Chala retracts her statement and Ibarra was released from jail.
This means, America loses another player on the offensive side. Though he was out for a couple of games, America counted with his return in order to rest some of their players who are playing in Liga Mx and ConcaChampions.
Since this is midseason America cannot reinforce the team, but can pull some players from the U-20 team to participate in the leagues. Until now, Ibarra’s future is uncertain and America has not retracted their statement about Ibarra’s separation from the club.
