The player to name is Federico Pereira. Thank you!
Boca Juniors wanted him and even sent him a formal offer to the Uruguayan Liverpool. Then River Plate asked, but negotiations were already advanced for Federico Pereira to land at Toluca in Mexico, for which he paid around 7 million dollars for 80% of his player. The Uruguayan defender, 23 years old, was presented in a very peculiar way: with a video that simulates an auction in which the purchasing team keeps the defender thanks to a suitcase full of money and mocks the Argentine teams that tried hire him.
“Elegance is present in the oil strokes, as on the playing field, the physical presence is noticeable in the artistic combination, showing a height of one meter eighty-seven, a young work of art, barely 23 years old , made with Uruguayan blood,” the auctioneer describes the soccer player, painted in a painting, at the beginning of the spot shared on the social network X (ex Twitter).
“I am the second team with the most Libertadores Cups, crazy, obviously they are going to come with me,” alleges an offeror representing Xeneize, with a forcefully Argentine tune. “What are you saying? “If I beat you in the 2018 Libertadores final at the Bernabéu,” a second man joins the bidding, symbolizing Núñez’s team. Until a burly third participant bursts in opening the door, armed with sunglasses and a briefcase that he opens and shows off dollars and gold coins. “Sold,” says the auctioneer and Pereira himself appears applauding the peculiar comedy step.
The Uruguayan, who became captain of Liverpool, has just won with his former club the Intermediate Tournament in 2019 and 2023, the Uruguayan Super Cup in 2020 and 2023, the Apertura Tournament in 2022 and the Clausura Tournament in 2021 and 2023. He accumulated a total of 114 games played, with 11 goals and 9 assists.

Toluca, which has three First Division titles in its country, has not made an Olympic return in the league since 2010 and in the last tournament it was left without a chance in the final phase, a fact that generated an earthquake in its core: it precipitated the exit of the coach Ignacio Ambriz and the provisional appointment of the Uruguayan Carlos Morales, whom Paiva has replaced.
Looking to turn the page, Los Diablos Rojos del Toluca will debut in the Clausura on January 12 on the field of the Gallos Blancos del Querétaro. And they will have Pereira as a new star: he will have the Chilean Valber Huerta as a partner in the central part of the defense and will replace the Colombian Andrés Mosquera.
In just over ten days he will have to prove if the particular auction that Toluca won in fiction was worth it.
