Confirmed: Felipe Salomoni joins Universidad de Chile as new signing | OneFootball

While already preparing for the pending matches of the first round, including the Superclásico against Colo Colo, Universidad de Chile is facing the transfer market with an eye on the second half of the season.

In recent days, what has been making noise is a possible departure: that of Matías Sepúlveda. The 26-year-old midfielder was reinvented by Gustavo Álvarez as a left wing-back and has been a key piece for the Blue team.

Sepúlveda's name is now linked to interest from Vasco da Gama of Brazil, although nothing is concrete yet.

In any case, La U has moved forward with a reinforcement for the left side, and everything seems to be agreed for his arrival.

Felipe Salomoni is La U's new signing

César Luis Merlo confirmed the deal this Monday, detailing that he joins La U on a one-year loan, with the possibility to exercise a purchase option at the end of the loan period.

The 22-year-old left back came up through the youth ranks at River Plate, but never played in the first team in Argentina. He moved to Guaraní in Paraguay, where he established himself to the point of catching the attention of Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates, who took him on loan.

After playing in the Club World Cup with the Arab club, Salomoni finished his loan, which opened up the opportunity for La U.
