Fossati Questions Universitario Contract, Leaving Future After Tricampeonato Unclear

Despite a 2026 contract, he cites uncertainty plus outside interest as reasons to review his future.

Overview

  • Jorge Fossati said he will reevaluate his Universitario deal because it was signed with a previous administrator, casting doubt on his continuity despite being under contract through 2026.
  • He acknowledged reported interest from Liga MX clubs as part of the uncertainty and said the recurring speculation has even made him consider retirement though he feels he still has energy.
  • Universitario’s administration publicly denied claims of a bad relationship with Franco Velazco as a factor in any potential exit.
  • Sports journalist Eddie Fleischman criticized Fossati’s stance, arguing the agreement binds him to the club as a legal entity rather than to any individual administrator.
  • On squad planning, Fossati said fan sentiment would weigh heavily on any move for Christian Cueva and signaled reservations about recruiting a player identified with the club’s rival.
