Facundo Callejo and José Neris on Universitario de Perú's radar 👀 | OneFootball

One of the positions that Universitario de Perú is looking to strengthen in this market is the forward line. Since Diego Churín will not continue with the club, they are seeking a player who can compete with or complement Álex Valera in the attack.

Although there were links to the former Colón player, Facundo Callejo, due to his great season with Cusco FC, another forward is now being mentioned, who coincidentally also has a past with Sabalero.

In recent hours, a forward has appeared who might be on Universitario's radar. Just as the Uruguayan Gonzalo Nápoli has been mentioned as a possible reinforcement, another Uruguayan is being considered. This is the case of José Neris, who had a great season with Montevideo City Torque, and whose rights belong to Colón de Santa Fe.

Neris is a new option emerging in the offices of Ate, with an eye on the 2026 season where they will aim for the fourth consecutive championship and to improve their performance in the Copa Libertadores. For this, Jorge Fossati needs reinforcements in the attack for these two competitions.

Neris has similarities with Facundo Callejo, as in his early career he played as a winger and even as a second striker in clubs like River Plate and Albion FC. Over the years, he has established himself as a center forward, although he did not have good numbers until he moved from Colón to Montevideo City Torque, where he completed a 2025 season with 16 goals.
