The Pumas UNAM board confirmed this Thursday the signing of the controversial Uriel "Brujo" Antuna from Tigres UANL, in a negotiation where the former Manchester City prospect supposedly had to lower his salary demands to arrive at the Pedregal.

With this new agreement, Antuna joins the list of players who have worn the jerseys of three of the four so-called "big" teams in Mexican soccer: Cruz Azul, Chivas, and Pumas. He only needs to play for America to complete the cycle with these four clubs.

Pumas UNAM announced the signing of this striker who, throughout his career, has become the eternal promise eager to take off and become the reality he initially showed promise of becoming, which led him to be one of the Premier League's most promising players, but which ultimately remained just an attempt.

The squad The university team announced Antuna's arrival and signing on their social media with the following message: “Uriel Antuna is now a Pumas player! Welcome to the Pumas family, Cantera and CU welcome you with open arms.” “Club President Luis Raul Gonzalez, along with Antonio Sancho, Vice President of Sports, extend a warm welcome to our new striker, Uriel Antuna, who toured the Cantera facilities with his family. The Pumas jersey looks great on you!”

The Last Train of Opportunities

After wearing the jerseys of important Mexican clubs like Chivas, Cruz Azul, and Tigres, "Brujo" Antuna arrives at Pumas UNAM with the challenge of proving he has the ability to catapult him to unimaginable heights and, why not, earn a spot on Javier Aguirre's World Cup roster.

Uriel Antuna underwent physical and medical tests this Thursday before signing his contract with the Auriazules, which is believed to be a permanent transfer according to unofficial reports.

The forward was with his family at the Cantera training facilities to familiarize himself with the Tigres camp and then participate in his first training session under the orders of Efrain Juarez, but it is ruled out that he will be able to play against Santos Laguna this Friday at Ciudad Universitaria.

Antuna had a rather unremarkable stint with Tigres, playing 48 matches, scoring one goal and providing eight assists. He becomes the sixth reinforcement to join the university squad, along with Cesar Garza, Juninho, Tony Leone, Jordan Carrillo, and Robert Morales, in addition to the return of Jesus Rivas.
