Overview
- Multiple Mexican outlets report Pumas and Anderlecht agreed a definitive transfer and that Huerta will sign a three-year contract, with the player due to arrive in Mexico for medicals on Wednesday, August 26.
- Reports say Pumas paid roughly $2 million up front with about $1 million in variables and bought the remaining share of his economic rights so the club would hold full registration.
- Huerta’s spell in Belgium was disrupted by a pubalgia that required two operations, limited minutes and roughly 38 appearances with five goals, developments that accelerated his exit from Anderlecht.
- América, Cruz Azul and Toluca had been linked to Huerta, but Pumas’ retained stake in his rights and the player’s ties to the club are credited with helping the university side close the deal.
- The move is expected to give Huerta more playing time because Pumas seek attacking reinforcements after Jordan Carrillo’s departure and Sebastián Córdova’s long-term injury, and the transfer still awaits the club’s formal announcement and final paperwork.
