Universidad de Chile keen to bring Rodrigo Ureña back | OneFootball

The Chilean Rodrigo Ureña is having a great season at Universitario de Perú, where he has become one of the pillars of the team led by Jorge Fossati, and is now preparing for the round of 16 in the 2025 Copa Libertadores (where they face none other than Palmeiras).

The 32-year-old midfielder is in his third season with the Lima club, but at one of his best individual moments, including a recent and surprising call-up to the Chilean National Team by Ricardo Gareca.

Thus, his name is starting to be heard in the transfer market, and Universidad de Chile is at the top of the list of possible new destinations for Ureña.

Is he returning to the U?

The information emerged from Lima, and they also assure that Rodrigo Ureña is favored by the U's coach, Gustavo Álvarez.

The player has a contract with the Peruvian club until December 2026, so if the U wants to sign him, they will also have to negotiate with Universitario.

Ureña, who started his career in the youth ranks of Unión Española, debuted in the First Division with the U's jersey, where he couldn't establish himself in the team. He was loaned out on several occasions (playing for Cobresal and Temuco), and then went abroad to play in Colombia (América de Cali and Deportes Tolima), and finally joined Universitario de Deportes in 2023.
