Overview
- Journalists César Luis Merlo and Diego Armando Medina reported Tuesday that Pumas have agreed terms to bring César ‘Chino’ Huerta back from RSC Anderlecht.
- Reports say the contract is for up to three years and that Huerta will leave Anderlecht to arrive in Mexico on September 26 to undergo medical tests and sign his contract.
- Club executive Antonio Sancho is credited in reports as a key negotiator in closing the transfer and the player is expected to join coach Esteban Solari’s squad.
- Coverage says Pumas prevailed in a transfer race that also involved Club América, Toluca and Cruz Azul, all of which had been linked to Huerta’s return to Liga MX.
- All published accounts rely on named sports journalists and outlets and, as of the reports, Pumas had not issued an official club announcement confirming the move.
