He played his last game for América in 2008 Copa Libertadores semi-finals first leg. He did not play the second leg due to illness and started his holiday from 4 to 24 June.[3]
Transfer controversy
On 6 June 2008 he was put on the transfer list by Club América.[4] Nuñez was to stay at Club América as a punishment but without playing any tournament or filial teams for not accepting to go to Puebla.[5] However, Nuñez unilaterally terminated his contract and left for Peñarol in September 2008, after FIFA granted the player had rights to sign a new club independently to the contract dispute with América.[3] Moreover, América sued Nuez for damages after he went missing (since 25 June) on 13 August and filed a claim with FIFA. In response, Nuez sued the club for August's unpaid salary and to have the contract resolved after the club reportedly forbade him from working out with the team over the phone.. On 5 February 2010, FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber returned the case to Mexican Football Federation.[3] In July 2010, Núñez reached an agreement with Club América.[6]
