After being defeated in the same week in the two tournaments in which they aspired to the title, in the Concacaf Champions League and in Liga MX, the future of several players of the Pumas is faltering and up to 7 of them, in addition to 2 that have already been announced, Rogério de Oliveira and Sebastián Saucedo, could be absent from the club this year.
This “restructuring” could include the departure of two soccer players spoiled by the fans, for which they would be very painful losses for the institution: Juan Dinenno and Alfredo Talavera, both figures of the two competitions that the team played this year.
Dinenno, the Concachampions scoring leader , has a contract until December of this 2022, but if the Pumas do not “tie” him in a few days, in the market of summer he would be free to negotiate with any club of his choice.
Juan Dinen is not of interest to #CruzAzul 🚂 as well as several teams in Mexico.
Andrés Lillini has him contemplated in Pumas to maintain the project but it seems that the board would listen to offers that would have to be VERY interesting. @CentralFOXMX @FOXSportsMX

Alfredo Talavera, who with his saves gave many points in the local tournament to the felines and helped them reach the final of the Concacaf tournament, has finalized his contract with the end of the Torneo Clausura 550, so until At the moment it is in negotiations with the team, although has not been able to reach an agreement . According to local media, this is because the goalkeeper of 39 is seeking a two-year renewal, something that the university board is reluctant to accept, due to the player’s age. At the same time, it is rumored that there are other Liga MX teams interested in the jailer, with Chivas being the loudest.
RÉCORD could have known that Alfredo Talavera could have played his last match with Pumas against Chivas, since the negotiations to renew with National University are increasingly distant🥅
“It is not a fact yet, but it is likely to come out,” said a source consulted by RECORD pic.twitter.com/bOBVDv9lWQ—DIARIO RÉCORD ( @record_mexico) May 11,
Other players who could come out of the feline den in the coming days are Washington Corozo, Higor Meritao, Diogo de Oliveira and Efraín Velarde, who are in negotiations with the team to resolve their future, although so far nothing is certain for any of them.
The seventh member of the club who is about to conclude his contract and is also on the tightrope is the DT, Andrés Lillini, who concludes his contract next December and, despite the fact that he has expressed his desire to continue at the club, he has set conditions that can be difficult for Pumas to meet, such as having a moderately competitive squad and keeping key players, such as Dinenno and Alfredo Talavera.
