University Transfers 2024 | With a new goalkeeper and a ‘9’, why did they take so long to choose their reinforcements and what are they looking for in them | Sebastian Brittos | Diego Torregare | League 1 Betson | L1B | Game-Total

Look: Piero Quispe and have a goal: go to Mexico, break it and come back in 15 years

Since then, the scouting area, sports management and administration have quickly weeded out many CVs based on that profile: heavyweight leaders and winners should come to the ‘U’.

With or without Fossati, three positions will be strengthened: the goalkeeper, a winger who can be a midfielder and the ‘9’. The goalkeeper was an emergency and Rio de la Plata was seen as a key market. That’s how they reached Sebastian Britos, 1.90m, 35 years old and recent champion of Uruguay with Liverpool. They even asked their contacts in the country about their ambitions – for example, Gustavino – and that’s it, ‘U’ waited until the league was finished and they signed.

Britos has these numbers: over 500 minutes in the 2023 Uruguayan league, first in clean sheets with 17 games, second in aerial duels won (0.72). And interest in signing him since they approached him. “Everything is already decided with Universitario, you can say I am the new goalkeeper, yes,” he said yesterday. And it comes for one year with an option to renew for one season.

During the Universitario’s founding, the man in charge of goalkeeping was Daniel Fosalba of Uruguay. Today another Uruguayan defends the club on its centenary. “I’m going to a historic date for the club,” Britos said yesterday. That chemistry between U and Uruguay is unbreakable.

“I wanted to play for a big team, I had that desire for a long time. I wanted to have that challenge to see if I could be in a big team,” he told Sport890 radio in Uruguay.

-The 9′-

His name is Diego Torregare and he is clearly a bet. In the 90s, when ‘U’ signed ‘Pirate’ Czornomaz – he later went on to hit number two in the US with Crystal in ’97. Or closer, Alianza rescued the other ‘pirate’ Hernan Bargos and brought him from Bangladesh.

Dorregaray is a combination of two versions: a great goalscorer from the area with experience in different mediums. Diego is 31 years old and from Nea Salamis in Cyprus. Previously he was in Egypt. ‘U’ will pay to leave their club. With 72 goals in 195 games since 2016, Alex Valera – 15 goals – will be fighting for a place with a less-than-encouraging record.

From the technician, they are constantly evaluating. Manuel Barretto was in Argentina during the first days of the week and had several contacts. César Farías is one of the names, but Venezuela has signed Colombia’s Aguilas Toradas and his release clause must be paid to get him.

Former Barcelona coach Fabian Bustos, who hails from Ecuador, is another Barreto spoke to. Gustavo Quinteros is another option, joined in the last few hours by Gustavo Madosas who has already directed in San Martin.

As Jean Ferrari said on social networks, the goalkeeper and the ‘9’ are already there. They have to finish their leagues, which has already happened with Uruguay, and they are waiting until they finish in Cyprus to announce everything.

The Creams started their season last Monday under the leadership of Coco Araujo. So far they have only announced the reinforcement of Christopher Olivares and several updates. Precisely, this Friday is the ceremony that Martin Pérez Guedez will officially receive Peruvian nationality, so that he will no longer hold the position of a foreigner.
