University of Chile is at a crucial moment of the season and not only because the leadership must decide the continuity of Hernan Caputto in command of the team. The campus design and the option to reinforce it are also in the folder.
“I feel like we need variations. I really appreciate the young players, it is welcome, but we need more variations, mainly in offense,” said the DT blue after the last defeat with Antofagasta.
In this sense, and given the market restrictions – which will take place during October and where the U does not have quotas for foreigners – the search was extended outside the country, but on Chilean players who are active abroad.
In this way, men like Ignacio Jara (Goiás from Brazil), Marcelo Allende (Torque from Uruguay) and Pedro El Chispa Campos (Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv) appeared on the university horizon. But there was a case that especially caught the attention of sports management.
This is Brandon Cortés, a 19-year-old young forward emerged from the prolific Boca Juniors quarry, who has dual Argentine-Chilean nationality. Although he is already in the first team, he does not find space to emerge under the baton of Miguel Ángel Russo.
He is not a stranger to Hernán Caputto, who directed him when he was in command of the Chilean Under 17 team that went to the World Cup in India. The young valor trained with the team but was left out of the definitive payroll.
Argentina raised his eyebrows and summoned him to the traditional L’Alcudia Tournament, in the Under 18 category. But the best would come later, when Gustavo Alfaro summoned him to the Boca Juniors first team and enrolled him in the Copa Libertadores last year.

Russo gives a hand from Boca
Brandon Cortés made his professional debut in April 2019, against Aldosivi for the Trans-Andean Super League, and then appeared in the first round of the Argentine Cup, in the duel between the blue and gold team and Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.
But your great opportunity may come from the hand of Universidad de Chile. As they commented to RedGol, the footballer who acts as a center forward and as a midfielder has great chances of coming, thanks to the intervention of Russo himself.
The former University of Chile coach is interested in the projection of the young man, but believes that he will have more alternatives to play in the blue team than currently in Argentine football. And in the U they will welcome you with open arms.
It only remains to know the deadlines for the arrival of the player, who in any case has been without competitive activity for eight months, due to the prolonged recess of the competitions on the other side of the mountain range.
