Palmeiras goes for another Chilean: now he would be negotiating for Valber Huerta

From Brazil they say that Palmeiras began negotiations to get the signing of national defender Valber Huerta, a player who comes from becoming a four-time champion of Chilean football with Universidad Católica.The São Paulo team already signed a little more than a year ago a central cross, Benjamin Kuscevic, and this time again set his eyes on a defender of the cast of the strip, of great level this year and that earned him to be called up to the Chilean national team.” The ‘Verdao’ is in advanced negotiations to hire the 28-year-old defender who operates at the Catholic University of Chile. He will sign for four years,” said the popular Media Globo. The Catholic University defender was called up for the Chilean national team this season, but was an option on the bench in matches against Ecuador (twice), Paraguay and Chile.” In addition, the publication pointed out that Huerta drew attention to the Palestra Italia store when he faced UC in the middle of the year. “In August, they faced the Palma team twice, in the knockout stages of the Libertadores, Abel (Ferreira’s) team won 1-0 in Santiago and in Allianz Parque,” he said. Continuing the interest in the defender, Globo said that “Huerta plays at left back of the defense, a position that the coaching staff has asked for as another option since the end of the loan of Alan Empereur. At the beginning of 2021, the club thought of Victor Cuesta, but the investment was ruled out.” In this way, the leadership of Cruzados would already be analyzing names in Chile and abroad before a possible departure of Valber Huerta.
