Universitario pin hopes on former Fluminense wonderkid for 2026

Universitario, from Peru, confirmed this weekend the signing of midfielder Miguel Silveira for the 2026 season. The 22-year-old player, developed in the youth ranks of Fluminense, was playing abroad and now returns to South American football.

Considered a "gem" during his development in Xerém, Miguel debuted for the Tricolor's professional team in 2019 and played 15 matches in the 2020 season. However, his time at the Rio de Janeiro club ended tumultuously in 2021 when he transferred to Red Bull Bragantino.

After leaving Brazil, the midfielder built an international career with stints at FK Sochi in Russia and was playing for Albirex Niigata in Japan before signing with the Peruvian team.
