Overview

Peruvian side ADT de Tarma announced that it is targeting Uruguayan centre‑back Joaquín Pereyra, a versatile defender who recently left Danubio, as it looks to bolster its squad for the closing stages of the Torneo Clausura. The club also reported that defender Jhair Soto remains sidelined by injury, with his future uncertain amid interest from other Peruvian teams.

Two days later, Mexican club Atlas confirmed a one‑year loan deal for centre‑back Juan José Sánchez Purata from Tigres UANL, including an option to buy for US$2 million. The move is part of Atlas’ squad overhaul following its recent acquisition by Grupo Prodi, aiming to strengthen the defence ahead of the Apertura 2026 tournament.

These announcements illustrate ongoing activity by clubs across the Latin American region to acquire defensive talent in preparation for upcoming domestic campaigns.
