Universitario Turns From Three-Peat to 2026: Fossati Confirmed, Cash Boost, Key Calls Ahead

Álvaro Barco’s confirmation of Jorge Fossati for 2026 signals continuity guiding Universitario’s next recruitment steps.

Overview

  • - The sporting director said Fossati has a valid deal for 2026 and that most of the squad is already under contract.
  • - Reports detail immediate revenues after the title, including about $600,000 from CONMEBOL, $350,000 from the TV consortium, and Libertadores group-stage income reported around $3 million.
  • - Forward targets are being assessed, with Claudio Spinelli linked by local reports but characterized as a difficult or unlikely transfer at present.
  • - Contract questions persist: Edison Flores left his future “in suspense,” Sebastián Britos may not be renewed, and the club has asked on-loan keeper Diego Romero to return.
  • - Jairo Vélez’s stay hinges on César Vallejo’s league status and negotiations, while Alex Valera’s agent says markets in Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East are being evaluated despite his 2026 contract.
