University of Chile went on a top vacation after agonizingly defeating Everton 2-1 in Viña del Mar. The players will have a week of rest, while The leadership together with Gustavo Álvarez will focus on the transfer market which will surely mark whether or not the U will fight for the title.
In the offices of the Azul Sports Center they will focus on, first, specifying departures. The first of them, and practically settled, is that of Emmanuel Ojeda. The midfielder has an agreement with Azul Azul and it only remains to know what the destination of the trans-Andean will be. In Chile and Argentina they have asked about him.
Another one who aims to leave is Nicolas Guerra. The footballer today is Álvarez’s third center forward (Palacios and Pons are ahead) and he would look to have minutes in this second part of the season.
The other two footballers are Renato Cordero and Jeisson Fuentealba. Both youth players are more than relegated and La Cisterna is clear that, as they are promising players, it is necessary for them to add minutes in other teams. It should be noted that at the beginning of the campaign both had offers to leave, but at the request of the DT they stayed in the U.
The U paves the way for reinforcements
As there will surely be departures from the CDA, reinforcements will also be added. Universidad de Chile plans to add at least two new faces for the second semester. The positions? A central defender and a mixed/offensive midfielder.
At the bottom of the team, Gustavo Álvarez has four names but only two have earned his trust: Franco Calderón and Matías Zaldivia. The defenders have borne the brunt of the campaign, while Ignacio Tapia and David Retamal failed to persuade the coach.
Given the situation, and taking into account that when occupying a line of three at the back he experimented with Cordero and Ojeda, the need to add another defender is clear. This is even more so if he intends to play with a line of 3 again, as he did for much of the season.
The names used by the U
Valber Huerta and Sebastian Vegas They are the great dreams of the U, but economically the operations become more than complicated. Furthermore, Huerta is in full negotiations with the UC and his wish, if he returns to the country, is to wear the crossed shirt.
Maximiliano Olivera, Peñarol player from Uruguay, is another name that has been heard in the last few hours. However, according to what you know On the court, There is zero chance of it reaching Chuncho.
Regarding the midfield, Universidad de Chile has in its portfolio: Gonzalo Montes, Huachipato midfielder. The Uruguayan is of Álvarez’s football palate (he coached him in the south) and requested his signing. At the moment there is nothing formal and the footballer also handles offers from other leagues, so the students are not just rushing to sign him.
