Transfer targets14 Dec 2026
No deal for Alex Valera at that price
Juan Aurich offered $6.7M; Universitario said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Words exchanged at Juan Aurich
Angelo Campos 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.

A move Kevin Medina would have made for nothing
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Kevin Medina is living that version at Juan Aurich, and it tends to show in the first month.

A row about effort at Juan Aurich
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Marcos Ortiz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout14 Dec 2026
No hiding place for Marcos Ortiz
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marcos Ortiz, and the manager let it.

One of our own: Fernando Carrillo joins the Juan Aurich first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Fernando Carrillo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Nelson Mora steps up from the Juan Aurich academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nelson Mora has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Cristian Toledo signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Cristian Toledo and Juan Aurich agree another 3 years.

Angelo Campos is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
