Omar Merlo can arrive at U. de Chile
After his departure from Sporting Cristal, much has been said about Omar Merlo's future in the 2023 season, so it was even suggested that he could continue in the Liga 1 with another institution.

But everything indicates that the future of the Argentine defender will not be in Peruvian football, but rather in the Chilean National Championship, as it is one of the latent options to reinforce U. de Chile.
This information was provided by RedGol, who has stated that the blue team has the task of signing a central defender, and one of the names is that of the former Sporting Cristal player.
"Universidad de Chile has an ace up its sleeve to strengthen its defense. Although the priority, until now, is Matías Zaldivia, at Universidad de Chile they begin to consider another player for the backline of their team: Omar Merlo", reads the publication.
Knowing this panorama, it is almost likely that Omar Merlo can defend the U. de Chile jersey, because it is very difficult for Colo Colo to part with Matías Zaldivia, since he is an important backup for coach Gustavo Quinteros.
