A knee injury of the worst kind for Grecco Álvarez

19 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Universidad de Chile lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Universidad de Chile turn down Colo-Colo for Bianneider Tamayo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Independiente Rivadavia tell Universidad de Chile: Iván Villalba is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Universidad de Chile bid $270.0K for Jeyson Rojas

The offer went to Colo-Colo 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.

A falling-out at Universidad de Chile

Charles Aránguiz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market21 Dec 2026

Universidad de Chile sell José Alburquenque for $33.0K

José Alburquenque has left for Antofagasta in a $33.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Bianneider Tamayo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Bianneider Tamayo and Universidad de Chile agree another 5 years.

Too much change too quickly at Universidad de Chile

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The Javier Altamirano story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Javier Altamirano signs something — a contract at Universidad de Chile or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Grecco Álvarez damages knee ligaments — 26 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 26 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Bryan Carvallo arrives at Universidad de Chile in a $2.3M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Universidad de Chile have paid $2.3M for Bryan Carvallo, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Charles Aránguiz 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.

Universidad de Chile spend $2.3M on the signing the town wanted

It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $2.3M for Bryan Carvallo, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Door shut on Simon Eriksson

Universidad de Chile asked and Racing Santander said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Octavio Rivero gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Bryan Carvallo is a square peg at Universidad de Chile

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Brayan Velarde signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brayan Velarde and Universidad de Chile agree another 3 years.

A loan move for Dyogo Alves is in the works

Universidad de Chile have made the call to Flamengo. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
