Rayados de Monterrey didn't struggle too much to find a suitable replacement for their star striker German Berterame was transferred to Inter Miami of Major League Soccer (MLS) after Atlas finalized the signing of Serbian striker Uros ?ur?evic, in a highly interesting transfer. This move comes just before the Liga MX transfer window closes on Monday, February 9th, the deadline for teams to make moves. Atlas surprised everyone by accepting the departure of the European striker, despite him being their best forward. As a result, ?ur?evic did not train with his teammates on Tuesday under the guidance of Argentine coach Diego Cocca. He remained on the sidelines after the deal with Rayados de Monterrey was completed, only going to the Atlas facilities to collect his belongings and say goodbye to his teammates. The Serbian national team striker leaves Atlas after four seasons, during which he played 48 matches and scored 21 goals. who improved steadily in Liga MX, especially since he couldn't fully showcase his abilities at the beginning, but once he found his rhythm, he became a valuable striker for Atlas. In the current tournament, Uros ?ur?evic played all 360 minutes, scoring two goals in the 1-0 victory over Mazatlan last Saturday and against Puebla in Matchday 1 of the championship. He was the key player who helped the red-and-black team accumulate nine points and sit in second place alongside Cruz Azul with nine points, three behind Chivas, who remain undefeated with four wins and 12 points. Atlas thus loses its most effective weapon, but the team's finances couldn't refuse the five million dollars that the transfer unofficially cost, allowing Uros ?ur?evic to leave the red-and-black squad with the great legacy of being the only top scorer in its history. of the Jalisco franchise.

All that remains is for both teams to announce the negotiation on their social media to make it official, but Monterrey's coach, the Spaniard Domenec Torrent, has already spoken about what he expects from the European striker who has more than proven false the notion that Europeans, due to their lifestyle, cannot adapt to the Latin style of Mexican football.

“Djuka is a player, different from Berterame. Perhaps with his back to goal, he has a better distribution game than Berterame. He is a goalscorer just like Berterame, who is very quick to get into space. Djuka has already shown in the Mexican League and in Spain, where I knew him from his time there, that he is a versatile goalscorer, a very committed player, very professional,” said the Spanish strategist.

He also stated that: "He has a nose for goal and will contribute a lot because he will give us different things that we haven't had until now. So, I'm very happy about Djuka's arrival. He's going to help us. He should know that he will have competition because we have a great squad." And he has to work hard to prove every day that he's better than his teammates.”

And he concluded by stating: “We signed him to be our main attacking threat, that's the truth. But with such an excellent squad, especially in attack, he does bring something different, but we also have many other candidates to compete with him for that position. Knowing that he came to be a bit of the finishing touch we needed after Berterame's departure.”
