Marcelo Morales leaves the U

U. of Chile

Marcelo Morales Without a doubt, he has been one of the best players at Universidad de Chile in 2024, being a key player in the team led by Gustavo Álvarez and which finished in first place in the National Championship standings.

The left back has had to deal not only with his good moment, but with the fact that his contract with the U ends at the end of the year, so he can renew or leave at the end of the season, starring for several months in that strip and relax.

Precisely as a result of the lack of progress in the negotiation, on the second floor of the Azul Sports Center they activated Plan B: reinforce themselves right now with a player who handles that position.

Along those lines, the U is analyzing three players with a good present in Chilean soccer and who could replace Morales in case he leaves now or at the end of the year.

The first is Sebastian Cabreraa man from Coquimbo Unidos who already had a stint at the U before emigrating to Palestino.

The second letter is Antonio Diaza winger for O’Higgins and who was already in the blue folder last year before the arrival of Vicente Fernández and became frustrated at the last minute due to the high price that the light blue team put on him.

In a third line appears another former U of Chile, Marcelo Jorquera, who was also mentioned last year as a possible reinforcement to fulfill what the coach at the time, Mauricio Pellegrino, demanded.

What does Gustavo Álvarez think of the renewal of Marcelo Morales?

After the U’s defeat against Municipal Puente Alto for the Chile Cup, the strategist declared that “coincidentally I spoke with him this week. His wish is to finish the year at the University of Chile, if possible with an important achievement. “She has her head set here, as does the desire of the management and the presidency for Marcelo’s continuity.”
