Overview
- RPP and journalist Gustavo Peralta report an initial meeting between Fossati and club leadership was positive, with “communion of ideas” and more sessions planned with sporting director Álvaro Barco.
- Fossati has not confirmed his continuation and publicly insisted on alignment on club policy and that no player be signed without his approval.
- Universitario’s plan, per RPP, is to retain the core of the tricampeón squad as it targets a fourth straight league title and a stronger Copa Libertadores campaign.
- Transfer planning is underway, with Peralta reporting a wingback is the priority and that a Colombian option is among the strongest possibilities, though the name remains undisclosed.
- External voices add pressure to the process: Fabián Bustos says he received offers including from a major Peruvian club and believes Fossati will continue, while Henry Quinteros and Pedro García describe unresolved tensions as their assessments, and Horacio Calcaterra praised former coach Carlos Compagnucci.
