Coach of Argentine club admits interest in this player

U. of Chile

University of Chile It is in the midst of a restructuring process for the second semester. In addition to considering the arrival of reinforcements, the blue directive also contemplates departures, including that of Emmanuel Ojeda. Where would she go? A coach from an Argentine club confessed to wanting him on his team.

That is the case of Cristian Gonzalez. In a press conference, the coach of Santa Fe Union He admitted interest in the 25-year-old midfielder. However, he called for caution: the transfer market is very long. For now, the U’s number ‘5’ shirt still has a first and last name.

“We have to look for a player who can add to us. It may be a possibility (Emmanuel) Ojeda and some we are talking about. It is a very long market where you have to be calm and look for the best for the team,” said the Argentine World Cup player and current coach.

It should be noted that Kily González already wanted the midfielder from Universidad de Chile in Unión. In August 2023, the Santa Fe club contacted the blue board to try to sign him, but the negotiations were unsuccessful. At that time, Mauricio Pellegrino did not let his coach leave.

Emmanuel Ojeda’s problem leaving the U

Despite the interest from the neighboring country, Emmanuel Ojeda would have a major obstacle to leaving the U. Which one? The club wants to obtain an economic return from his departure (he has a contract until June 2025), which Unión would not be willing to pay. It would be above what they are willing to pay.

For now, the ‘5’ from Universidad de Chile continues training normally at the Azul Sports Center. He will not be considered a starter for the commitment to Municipal Puente Alto. Will he be summoned by Gustavo Álvarez? That will be defined during the next few days by the DT.

When does the U play?

The U’s next match will be against Municipal Puente Alto for the Chile Cup. It will be played on Monday, June 17, from 7:00 p.m., at the National Stadium.
