Universidad de Chile seeks attacking reinforcements as Gago plans transfer window

Universidad de Chile sits ninth in the Chilean league and has struggled to score, prompting coach Fernando Gago to emphasise the need for new attacking sign‑ings ahead of the second half of the season. Gago said the upcoming transfer window will be used to “search for the best” players to improve the squad and restore competitiveness in domestic tournaments, including the Copa de la Liga where the team must win its final group match and rely on other results.

Former striker Leandro Fernández, who left the club after a fallout with former coach Francisco Meneghini, posted an Instagram story wearing a 2026 Universidad de Chile jersey during a casual game. The gesture has been interpreted as a signal of his desire to return, and rumors suggest he may request a loan or permanent move from Argentinos Juniors to regain playing time.
