Mystery signing pops up on Pumas’ social media | OneFootball

An image shared by Pumas on social media—and later deleted—revealed the presence of an unknown player during a training session, sparking rumors about a new signing.

Fans tried to identify him, and many thought he was Marino Hinestroza.

However, the player is Norberto Jesús Jiménez Pérez, a Colombian forward who will be registered with the Under-21 category.

For now, he is not part of the first team, but if he manages to impress coach Efraín Juárez, he could get a chance to play.

The club has not yet officially announced his arrival, although his name started circulating after being mistaken for Hinestroza, a midfielder who has been pursued by teams like Boca Juniors and Botafogo.

The latter even reportedly offered 8 million dollars for him.

With the departures of Funes Mori and the possible exit of Leo Suárez, Pumas needs to strengthen its offense.

Norberto Jiménez could become an internal option if he manages to stand out in the youth ranks.
