  • Universidad de Chile has reached an agreement to sign Colombian goalkeeper Jordan García from Mexican club León.
  • The deal involves a six-month loan with an option for an additional year, depending on performance.
  • García, 21, had limited playing time at León and is expected to provide competition for the goalkeeper position at Universidad de Chile.

Universidad de Chile is set to acquire Colombian goalkeeper Jordan García from Mexican club León, following the unsuccessful pursuit of Valentín Gauthier. The agreement, reported by journalist César Luis Merlo, includes a six-month loan with a potential one-year extension based on sporting objectives.

García, a 21-year-old who joined León from Colombian club Fortaleza CIEF in January, has limited senior experience. He was a starter for Colombia's U20 team and trained with the senior national squad but only played three matches in the Liga MX. León's decision to reinforce their goalkeeping with Mexican international Julio González also opened the door for García's departure.

The move aligns with Universidad de Chile coach Fernando Gago's desire for a new goalkeeper to compete with Gabriel Castellón. While the clubs have agreed on terms, the transfer is still pending finalization.
