Universitario de Deportes is undergoing a restructuring process in preparation for the 2023 season, where the team will compete in the Liga 1 and Copa Sudamericana. To do this, they are looking to bring in an experienced central defender to complement Murrugarra, Guzmán, and Rugel, young cream defenders.
One of the names being mentioned in Ate is Carlos Beltrán. However, this has not been well received by the cream fans, as 'Che' has a history with Alianza Lima, their classic rival, and he also feels very identified with the team blanquiazul.
Subsequently, Beltrán posted a striking message on his Instagram, could it be an indirect? "Not everyone will be happy with your change, because your change reminds them that they are still in the same place," he expressed.

How is Beltrán's move to Universitario going?
According to journalist Gustavo Peralta, the cream team wants to hire 'Che'; however, Cienciano wants to keep him. "It is totally true that 'U' wants Carlos Beltrán and even the final part of the contract was being seen. But, knowing the interest, Cienciano seeks to activate the 2023 contract that is not yet registered with the FPF. In response, Cienciano wants to continue counting on him and the U evaluates the situation," he said.
Did he change his mind?
In 2020, the popular 'Che' stated in an interview with GolPerú that he would not go to Universitario out of respect for Alianza Lima, but apparently things have changed. "Someone who is helping me told me that they had been contacted by the Universitario team and they had only asked if I would play there, nothing else. I told him no, because of the time I have spent at Alianza," he commented.
