Allan Saint-Maximin explains departure from Club América amid racism concerns

Allan Saint-Maximin left Club América nearly a year ago, citing repeated racist attacks and discrimination faced by his children as the primary reasons for terminating his contract. In a recent interview with The Athletic, he emphasized prioritizing his family's emotional well-being, stating he could not allow his children to accept such treatment. Despite his love for the club, where he scored three goals in 16 appearances, Saint-Maximin chose to join Charlotte FC in MLS in early 2026. He expressed that his stance against racism would remain unchanged no matter his location.
