Omar Merlo can arrive at U. de Chile

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.

Omar Merlo was champion with Sporting Cristal in 2018 and 2020

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.
