Overview
- Journalist Gustavo Peralta reported the three-year renewal on the radio program Hablemos de Max and Libero.pe published the account; there is no independent club statement cited in the coverage.
- Valera has scored 84 goals in 183 appearances for Universitario since 2021 and moved into the club's top-10 all-time scorers after his recent goal versus FC Cajamarca.
- The report says Valera turned down or set aside reported foreign interest to remain at Universitario and pursue the 100-goal milestone for the club.
- Peralta also said Universitario is working to extend contracts for teammates Andy Polo and Jairo Concha as part of a wider retention push.
- If confirmed, the extension would secure Universitario's leading striker for the next seasons, bolster the club's scoring continuity and influence its approach to transfers and squad planning.
