Last week at the U was marked by Walter Montillo’s announcement that he did not want to renew his contract. After a series of statements from his representative, the player himself, the sports director Rodrigo Goldberg and the president of Azul Azul, Cristián Aubert, the midfielder chose to end their relationship and, therefore, his career.
A situation that hit the lay leadership, as well as a team that remains upset by the treatment given to one of the most beloved and respected players. However, things must continue and the U has already set itself the task of looking for names of possible replacements.
One thing that is clear is that the idea is that who replaces? The Squirrel? is younger. There is a predominant initiative to rejuvenate the campus. Within this framework are the almost certain exits of Osvaldo González, Matías Rodríguez, and possibly Jean Beausejour.
Names that are in Chile and a reference
During the past week there has already been talk of a name that is making the rounds in the CDA. This is the Argentine from Cobresal, Marcelo Cañete, whose contract with the ?? Mineros ?? expires at the end of this tournament.
It was the player himself, who, in an interview with En Cancha, acknowledged that the Blues “got in touch with my representative and let’s see what happens”. Not only that, he also expressed that an eventual passage to the U “would be something nice, a very important challenge”.
But the former player of the Catholic University is not the only one that interests. The midfielder, and winger on both wings, Juan Ezequiel Cuevas, current Everton player, draws attention to the CDA.
The 32-year-old trans-Andean has been in Viña del Mar since 2017 and has become one of the main figures of the ?? Oro y Cielo ?? team. There are no formal contacts yet, but it is a fact that is observed by the blue directive.
Finally, and although they do not occupy the same position, at Universidad de Chile they are always attentive to what happens with Marcelo Díaz. The Racing Club midfielder has had a difficult 2020, due to injuries, but his contract ends in mid-2021 and January could already negotiate as a free player.
In Argentina they already point out that ?? La Academia ?? it will not hinder a possible negotiation between the parties. The U is interested in having a benchmark, and Díaz is the ideal man, although everything will depend on the opinion of Rafael Dudamel and the physical condition of the two-time champion of America.
