Universidad de Chile keen to bring Rodrigo Ureña back
The Chilean Rodrigo Ureña is having a great season at Universitario de Perú, where he has become one of the pillars of the team led by Jorge Fossati, and is now preparing for the round of 16 in the 2025 Copa Libertadores (where they face none other than Palmeiras). The 32-year-old midfielder is in his third season with the Lima club, but at one of his best individual moments, including a recent and surprising call-up to the Chilean National Team by Ricardo Gareca. Advertisement Thus, his name is starting to be heard in the transfer market, and Universidad de Chile is at the top of the list of possible new destinations for Ureña. Is he returning to the U? The information emerged from Lima, and they also assure that Rodrigo Ureña is favored by the U's coach, Gustavo Álvarez. The player has a contract with the Peruvian club until December 2026, so if the U wants to sign him, they will also have to negotiate with Universitario. Ureña, who started his career in the youth ranks of Unión Española, debuted in the First Division with the U's jersey, where he couldn't establish himself in the team. He was loaned out on several occasions (playing for Cobresal and Temuco), and then went abroad to play in Colombia (América de Cali and Deportes Tolima), and finally joined Universitario de Deportes in 2023.

Chile misses out on third consecutive FIFA World Cup, coach Gareca steps down
Chile will miss a third consecutive World Cup after losing 0-2 at Bolivia on Tuesday to remain last in South America's 10-team round-robin competition. Head coach Ricardo Gareca later said he he was standing down after his team's failure. Later, Uruguay beat Venezuela at home 2-0, with goals by Rodrigo Aguirre and Giorgian de Arrascaeta, and got close to one of the region's six direct spots in the World Cup with 24 points after 16 matches. The visitors, with 18 points, are one ahead of Bolivia in the fight for seventh place that grants an intercontinental playoff berth. Uruguay is seven points above eighth-place Bolivia. Chile's golden generation won two Copa America titles — in 2015 and '16 — but is out of contention for next year's expanded 48-team tournament. 'Sad, I am feeling bad. Never lived something like this. We have to ask people to forgive us,' veteran Chile striker Alexis Sánchez said. 'We have to keep working. There's change already, the golden generation is buried, I am the only one left.' Bolivia scored first via Miguel Terceros in the fifth minute and added a second in the 90th with Enzo Monteiro at the 4,150-meter high El Alto Stadium, outside La Paz. Gareca, the 67-year-old Argentinian coach who took Peru to the 2018 World Cup, told a post-game news conference he was leaving the team after a 17-match stretch that included four wins, four draws and nine losses. 'I want to publicly thank the players and the executives for the support they gave us until the very end,' Gareca said. Related Topics Chile
