Fernando Zuqui extends contract with Universidad Católica, aiming for future renewal

Fernando Zuqui will remain with Universidad Católica after agreeing to a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the end of 2026. The Argentine midfielder expressed his desire for a longer commitment, ideally at least one more year, but ultimately accepted the club's proposal for a six-month extension.

"I always told my agent and the club that my idea was for a longer time, at least a year. The club expressed its desire for six months, and I appreciate the effort," Zuqui stated in a press conference. "I am very comfortable here and will give my best for a possible renewal next year."

Despite a significant 10-point gap separating Universidad Católica from league leaders Colo Colo, Zuqui remains focused on the team's potential to compete. "Ten points is a wide difference, but we have what it takes to keep competing. We wear a very big jersey and need to fight on all fronts," he said. "The fact of being protagonists and playing good football is what will keep us in the fight until the last match."

The team is also preparing for their Copa Chile match against Deportes Copiapó on June 20. Zuqui's commitment and positive outlook aim to galvanize the squad as they navigate both domestic and cup competitions.
