Union Espanola come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Universidad de Chile did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Maximiliano Guerrero asks to leave Universidad de Chile

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Bianneider Tamayo moves on

Palestino pay $970.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Words exchanged at Universidad de Chile

Santiago Cáseres and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The step up is real for Sergio Leiva

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Too dear: Universidad de Chile walk away from Simón Pinto

$28.0K was the most the club would pay and Palestino were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Universidad de Chile rebuffed over Milton Giménez

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Boca Juniors have kept their man, and Universidad de Chile go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Jesús Portillo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Universidad de Chile ask about Leandro Brey

A loan enquiry to Boca Juniors: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The knee: Matías Zaldivia out for 63 days

63 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Universidad de Chile lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market28 Sep 2026

Javier Altamirano has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Universidad de Chile can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Santiago Cáseres in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Universidad de Chile this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Salvador Negrete falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Matías Zaldivia gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Matías Zaldivia is on it.

The Juan Martín Lucero question follows Universidad de Chile around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Juan Martín Lucero’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
