Former Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin makes his next move, this time to Mexico
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Allan Saint-Maximin's wide-ranging career is taking him to Mexico. The former Newcastle winger signed a contract with Club America, the top-tier Mexican team said Tuesday. The 28-year-old Saint-Maximin arrives in the Liga MX after a one-year stint with Turkey's Fenerbahce where he played on loan from Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli. America, the winningest club in Mexico with 16 league titles, did not disclose further details about the contract. Local media reported a two-year deal worth around $10 million. Saint-Maximin is the second French player to play for Club America. Jeremy Menez, who won the Apertura 2018 championship with the club, was the first. The most successful French player in Mexican league history is Andre-Pierre Gignac, who has won five league titles with the UANL Tigres and scored 209 goals in all competitions since arriving in Mexico in 2015. Saint-Maximin, a former France youth international, debuted with Saint-Etienne in his home country, moved to Monaco and Nice, and in 2019 to Newcastle in the Premier League, where he spent four seasons. He scored 13 goals across 124 appearances for the Magpies, but struggled with injuries. ___ AP soccer:

Allan Saint-Maximin's worrying goal drought before joining América
Allan Saint-Maximin is very close to becoming a reinforcement for América, a signing that was sold to the fans as a blockbuster, but behind that there are reasons to doubt his contribution to the club. While it is thought that the Frenchman may be the solution for the cream-blue attack, an alarming figure in his scoring record worries the fans. And it is that Maximin only adds one goal in the Super League of Turkey in 2025, due to multiple injuries and even a controversy of "attempted doping". Will the Frenchman be able to find his best version in the nest? This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. 📸 YAGIZ GURTUG

Allan Saint-Maximin accuses Mourinho's Fenerbahce side of giving him 'doping products'
Former Newcastle United attacker Allan Saint-Maximin has made a startling allegation about his spell at Fenerbahce with former Roma boss Jose Mourinho. Speaking on the Zack Nani Podcast, Saint-Maximin claimed Fenerbahce tried to pressure him into breaking anti-doping rules. The winger, who joined the club on loan last season from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, made the allegation while explaining why the team failed to win the league title. Advertisement 'Jose Mourinho (Fenerbahce manager) gave everything to be champions. But unfortunately, the club was surrounded by factors other than football,' claimed Saint-Maximin. 'To give you an example, they even tried to dope me. People don't know these things. You cannot speak openly because you'll be threatened. They say, 'If you talk, we will do this or that.' Sometimes you find yourself in situations that go beyond football.' Upon witnessing the chaos his comments caused, Saint-Maximin added more in a post on X. 'I see that things are going all over the place on X, so I'm going to clarify what I said. I was talking about those people around the club who are ready for anything,' he wrote. Advertisement 'In my case, when I was sick, they practically gave me a treatment that's considered a doping product. I'm unsure for what purpose this team of doctors did that.' Unsurprisingly, the Turkish giants responded to Saint-Maximin's allegations with a statement of their own. 'By distorting the facts regarding the medical treatment he received following a health issue, the player has attempted to mislead the public and damage the reputation of our club.' 'As Fenerbahce Sports Club, we hereby inform the public that we will exercise all our legal rights against these misleading statements and any attempt to undermine our institutional reputation.'
