Universitario Nears Deal for Aixa Vigil as Club Awaits San Martín Release

The move would close a key domestic signing while Universitario finalizes one or two foreign slots to strengthen its bid against Alianza Lima.

Overview

  • Fabrizio Acerbi, Universitario’s head of multi-sports, said on Wednesday that talks with Aixa Vigil are advanced and the only remaining hurdle is a formal release from San Martín.
  • Acerbi told reporters that domestic signings are essentially secured but the club still needs to define one or two foreign reinforcements before announcing its full squad.
  • Universitario confirmed the departures of Brazilian players Angélica Malinverno and Mara Leao on the club’s social media, creating openings the new recruits are meant to fill.
  • Playmaker Ingrid Herrada said Universitario contacted her and called the offer “a nice opportunity,” with her interest rising after Zaira Manzo’s retirement and following national team call-ups.
  • Peruvian transfer rules require clubs to grant formal releases before players can sign elsewhere, so the Vigil move and any final foreign additions will hinge on those administrative clearances and upcoming contract wraps.
