💣The "U effect": The starlet dreaming of playing in blue | OneFootball

The University of Chile has not yet closed its transfer window, and the name that excites both the board and the fans is Nicolás Fernández. The 22-year-old Uruguayan midfielder, currently at Progreso, acknowledged the club’s approaches and did not hide his astonishment at the magnitude of the Chilean institution, describing the interest as "truly crazy."

In a recent interview, the Uruguayan midfielder confessed that the passion of the blue fans took him by surprise. "I never expected so many people to reach out to me... I even get messages on WhatsApp," he said, visibly moved. Fernández is shaping up to be the final piece in Francisco Meneghini’s scheme, bringing youth and energy to a midfield that already features big names like Charles Aránguiz and Marcelo Díaz.
