Yuriel Celi was offered to Corinthians before reaching an agreement with Universitario

Yuriel Celi was close to playing in the Brazilian league.

The name of Yuriel Celi is one of the most talked about in recent weeks due to his eventful departure from Carlos A. Mannucci, his signing with Hull City and his subsequent incorporation to Universitario de Deportes. However, before reaching an agreement with the ‘merengues’, the midfielder would have been offered to Corinthians from Brazil.

Yuriel Celi will become a new Universitario player

The Peruvian midfielder will be loaned out by Hull City for two seasons, depending on the objectives met with the ‘creams’.

According to the Brazilian media Globo Esporte, the former player from Cantolao was very close to reaching ‘Timao’ along with three other footballers, but due to the number of places for foreigners, this would not have materialized.

“Corinthians rejected four foreign players who were offered to the club in recent days, due to the limit of foreigners in the ‘alvinegro’ squad. The players are: Yuriel Celi, Daniel Ruiz, Diego Rubio and Yimmi Chará”, can be read on the Twitter account of the Brazilian medium.

A few weeks ago, the national striker returned to the ‘merengue’ team after his short and eventful spell in Arab football.

The offers would not have received the approval of the technical command, since the places for foreigners would be at their limit with the arrival of players like Fabián Balbuena (Paraguay), Bruno Méndez (Uruguay), Rafael Ramos (Uruguay), Víctor Cantillo (Colombia). ), Fausto Vera (Argentina) and Ángel Romero (Paraguay).

The midfielder would have already sealed his signing with the ‘cream’ team and would even be officially presented in the coming days. As recalled, Celi came to Ate after his transfer to Hull City in England, a team that preferred to loan him out so that he could continue to grow as a footballer.

After passing through the Cantolao Academy, Yuriel Celi signed for Carlos A. Mannucci in the 2022 season. During his stay in the Trujillo cast, the player played 33 games, scored four goals and assisted twice.

Carlos Caro, legal adviser to the Peruvian Football Federation, also stated that the precautionary measure only involves the clubs that renewed their contract with the Consortium.

These figures were more than enough for Universitario to show his interest in having the midfielder for the 2023 season. Despite the complications that occurred along the way, the 20-year-old footballer would have everything agreed with the student team and would be joining training next Monday, January 30.

Universitario de Deportes, Alianza Lima, Deportivo Municipal, Sport Bpys, Cienciano, Melgar, Deportivo Binacional and Cusco FC announced that they will not participate in Liga 1 2023 until the injunction filed by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) is suspended.

The eight clubs released the news during a press conference with the aim of making their position known. It should be noted that none of them agree with the new model of the organizing entity, since there are no clear specifications for what they still have a contract with the Consorcio Fútbol Perú.

According to the regulations, if a team does not show up for a match, they will automatically lose by Walk Over. While, if you decide not to play again for the second time in a row, you will be relegated without any option. Undoubtedly, this would not favor the growth and development of Peruvian soccer.

“If a club fails to comply with the schedule by omitting to show up to play on two dates, be they consecutive or alternate, it will automatically be relegated to the immediate lower category, it will lose its remaining matches and the corresponding points by walkover (WO), awarding itself the score of three (3) to zero (0) in favor of its rivals and receives the sanction in accordance with Article 174° ”, can be read in the bases of the championship.

Knowing all this, Jean Ferrari, Universitario’s administrator, pointed out that despite his position regarding the dispute over television rights, the squad will present itself following the established schedule so as not to harm the local tournament.

So far, the ‘U’ is the only team that has decided to participate in the national championship despite the conflict it has with the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF). The remaining seven clubs are awaiting a pronouncement by the highest governing body of Peruvian soccer.
