Gullit Peña Joins América, Set for Stints with Racing City and Al-Kholood

Carlos 'Gullit' Peña, a 34-year-old Mexican midfielder, has signed with América and will play for Racing City in Los Angeles before moving to Al-Kholood in Saudi Arabia.

Peña's move to Racing City marks his first stint with a club in the United States. Racing City competes in the United Premier Soccer League (UPSL), and Peña's presence is expected to bolster the team's midfield.

Following his time in Los Angeles, Peña will transition to Al-Kholood Club in Saudi Arabia. This move offers a new opportunity for Peña, who has been out of professional football for several months.

Peña has had a notable career, particularly with Club León, where he was instrumental in their back-to-back championships, winning both the Apertura 2013 and Clausura 2014 titles. He also played a vital role in Mexico's qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, helping the team overcome New Zealand in the playoffs.

Despite his achievements on the field, Peña has faced personal challenges that have affected his performance. His new stint with América, Racing City, and Al-Kholood is seen as a chance for him to regain his form and return to the player fans remember.

Peña's representative, Morris Pagnielo, confirmed the details of his client's new contracts, noting the significance of this fresh start. However, no specific dates or durations for Peña's stints with Racing City and Al-Kholood have been disclosed.

As Peña prepares for this new chapter, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he adapts to his new environments and whether he can recapture the form that once made him a key player for both club and country.
