No doubt there were many questions about the '9' who would arrive at Universitario de Deportes for the 2023 season. Although the club eventually ended up signing Emanuel Herrera and possibly Bruno Sepúlveda, several options were rumored as possible signings at the time.

Among them is Leandro Garate, an Argentine forward who wore the Unión Española jersey throughout 2022. In fact, Gustavo Peralta from LÍBERO previously learned that the 26-year-old player was considered an option for the 'U' due to the low chances of signing Pablo Vegetti.

However, everything was up in the air, as Garate has been seen in the preseason of the Chilean team for the 2023 season. In addition, the crema team already has two forwards in its squad, in addition to the possible signing of Sepúlveda, so they would no longer need to add another reinforcement in this position.

It is worth mentioning that the player had an acceptable performance with the 'Furia' jersey this year. In fact, in the 26 official matches he played, Garate scored 11 goals and made 2 assists.

What players has Universitario de Deportes signed for the 2023 season?

It is important to note that Universitario seeks to be a protagonist in the Liga 1 this year. Therefore, the merengues have decided to sign new members who can measure up and reach their best level. Among them are the following names:

• Emanuel Herrera
• Martín Pérez Guedes
• José Luján
• Hugo Ancajima
