Why did Universitario sell Alex Valera?
This is the reason Manuel Barreto gave for the successful transfer of Alex Valera, stating that he sought the maximum benefit for the institution as they couldn't allow him to leave without generating any money:
"Sportingly, we didn't count on the player even though he was here. If we had him there, there could be a contractual liability that could even lead him to leave freely at the end of the season, without playing, without leaving anything to the U, there are things that take precedence. Beyond any mistake, our role is to solve problems and always try to achieve the greatest benefit for Universitario," Manuel Barreto explained.
