Overview
- Universitario has not issued an official announcement, with the move still pending final signatures and registration.
- Tomás Dávila reported that Fértoli's switch is advanced on a one-year loan, a claim echoed by César Luis Merlo.
- Local coverage frames the signing as the club's final foreign reinforcement for 2026, filling the vacancy left by Rodrigo Ureña if completed.
- Fértoli returned to Racing after a 2025 loan at Tigre and was informed he would be loaned out again, making an overseas move plausible.
- The 31-year-old logged 19 matches with two goals and one assist for Tigre in 2025 and offers positional versatility across midfield and the wings.
