Universitario de Deportes was only waiting for Roberto Siucho to regain his Peruvian nationality to register him as a cream footballer. However, time was against him: the transfer window closes on March 8th and there is no longer a list of good faith.
Although on February 28th he completed his immigration procedure after receiving his citizenship, he was not officially Peruvian yet: he had to have his identification document. To obtain it, he had to make the request at RENIEC.
Although it was known that it was a matter of days, the exact time it would take was unknown. However, there is no reason to worry anymore. RPP Noticias learned that, on Friday, March 3rd, the 26-year-old winger already obtained his ID and is now officially part of the white and red team.
Now everything depends on the board of Universitario de Deportes. Manuel Barreto, the club's sports director, stated in an interview with Fútbol Como Cancha that Roberto Siucho was still in the plans, so his registration must be completed in this first transfer period in the coming days. Thus, he will be an option for Jorge Fossati, the new coach of 'U', who was introduced this afternoon to the squad, including the striker.
