Overview
- Pumas officially announced the permanent signing of 29-year-old Cristian “Chicote” Calderón on a long-term contract to bolster the left-back position.
- Calderón arrives from Club América after a recent loan spell at Necaxa and brings experience from spells at Atlas, Chivas and América.
- The club presents the transfer as a depth signing to create internal competition rather than an immediate replacement for Álvaro Angulo.
- Journalist César Luis Merlo reported that Álvaro Angulo will remain at Pumas and that Calderón is expected to start as a backup and rotational option.
- This is Pumas' second confirmed signing in the summer window after Sebastián Córdova and is meant to address the squad’s previous lack of reliable cover on the flanks.
