Pablo Erustes, the Striker Who Could Bolster Universitario's Attack in 2026
Abstract
Argentine striker Pablo Erustes (31 years old) has offered his services to Universitario de Deportes for the 2026 season, generating considerable excitement in Liga 1. The Deportivo Garcilaso player was one of the league's top scorers with 15 goals, and his main attraction is his ongoing Peruvian naturalization process, which would allow him to not occupy a foreign player slot. The potential signing of the Peruvian three-time champion is closely tied to the future of Jairo Vélez (on loan from César Vallejo). If Vélez does not stay, Erustes would be the preferred alternative. The deal requires negotiations with Garcilaso and finalizing his Peruvian ID, making it a valuable market opportunity due to his experience and goal-scoring record.
