One of the new elements that promises the most at Universitario de Deportes is Rodrigo Ureña, the midfielder who arrives in his best version and has the goal of shining to achieve the long-awaited 27th star of the 'merengues'.

"It's a great step to come to the biggest and winning club in Peru. There's a good sports project and I know they looked for me after my good seasons in Colombia with America and Tolima," he said to DirecTV Chile.
In addition, Rodrigo Ureña, former player of Deportivo Tolima, stated that the sports project of "La U" determined that he would choose to play in the Liga 1, where he hopes to have a similar history to two of his compatriots.
"I always prioritized the sports aspect over the economic issue to come to Universitario and now I want to write my own story just like Juan Carlos Letelier and Cristian Álvarez did before," he said, adding: "I believe that by playing in Colombia, I represented the Chilean flag proudly. I did things right to go to the national team."
Furthermore, the 'Pitbull' revealed that last season he received an offer from Colo Colo, but he decided to stay in Tolima to compete in the South American tournament, the Conmebol Libertadores.
"I was called by Colo Colo to play in the Sudamericana Cup but I chose to play the round of 16 of the Libertadores Cup with Deportes Tolima," said Rodrigo Ureña, a 29-year-old player.
