- Played in the Club كأس العالم with Al Ain
- Only featured in six matches last season with أتالانتا
- Pumas are seeking a veteran presence between the posts
After missing out on Keylor Navas, Pumas UNAM are turning their attention to veteran Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio, who famously helped البرتغال win the Euro 2016 title.
وفق Superdeportivo negotiations are advanced and Patricio is close to becoming the club’s new signing for the remainder of the Apertura 2025 season.
While Patricio may not have the same profile as Navas, the 37-year-old brings a wealth of experience, having played more than 100 matches for the Portuguese وطني team and featured for clubs such as نادي سبورتينغ لشبونة, Wolverhampton, روما, and most recently Atalanta, where he only made six appearances last season.
Patricio featured at the Club World Cup with Al Ain, conceding six goals in just two matches. Despite some skepticism among fans about his age and recent form, the club hopes his leadership and international pedigree can provide much-needed stability in goal.
Pumas are finalizing the last details to complete the transfer and aim to bring him to المكسيك City as soon as possible.
Pumas will host Pachuca Sunday in Matchday 2 of the Apertura 2025, and the deal with Patricio could be wrapped up just in time.
