This season has not been fruitful, at least until now, for Universitario de Deportes. The 'cremas' have few options to win the Clausura and fight for the Liga 1 title at the end of the year. Because of this, the team from Ate is already thinking about the next campaign and has made a great defensive signing.
It is a young right back, 20 years old, who signed a contract on Wednesday, August 24, along with Manuel Barreto and his teammates from the Casa Hogar, according to information from the club itself through their social networks.
His name is Jerry Navarro, who will add to the defensive line and seek to give greater solidity, although he will first have to earn a spot since Aldo Corzo is already in his position. The player comes from the youth divisions and this is his first professional contract.
Similarly, the contractual agreement between Navarro and Universitario de Deportes expires in 2024, so he will have time to make a name for himself in Peruvian football.
"In the Promotion and Reserves Tournament 2022, Navarro, 20 years old, is a key player on the team led by Jorge Araujo. In total, the defender, who can play as both a full-back and center-back, has played 12 out of 13 matches in the youth tournament, totaling 1035 minutes," Universitario announced through its website, welcoming him to the first team.
Finally, let's remember that Universitario drew 1-1 with ADT in Tarma and this Saturday, August 27, they will host Ayacucho at the Estadio Monumental to prepare for the Peruvian football superclásico against Alianza Lima.
