Yuriel Celi agrees terms with Alianza Atletico
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Universitario people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Hugo Ancajima puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Universitario, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market7 Dec 2026
Universitario turn down Sporting Cristal for Hugo Ancajima
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets7 Dec 2026
An offer of $1.4M for Jean Pierre Archimbaud
Universitario have gone to Ayacucho with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Universitario rebuffed over Fernando Da Rosa
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Cesar Vallejo have kept their man, and Universitario go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

César Inga wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
Transfer targets7 Dec 2026
Universitario bid $590.0K for Jorge Cabezudo
The offer went to Melgar this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Boardroom7 Dec 2026
Universitario go back to the board over Jean Pierre Archimbaud
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.6M — a club that wants Jean Pierre Archimbaud enough to be asked twice.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Words at Universitario training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bryan Reyna is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
