Total surprise. When he had practically been ruled out by the president of O’Higgins in statements to the local radio press, this Saturday the news broke that the Capo found his “9” that he was looking for so much.
The Argentine-Chilean, Leandro Benegas (36) will be a new player for the light blue throughout 2025, accessing the link as a free player.
The striker, who in his last appearance in Chilean football defended Unión Española, will join Francisco Meneghini’s training sessions in the coming days.
Benegas gained strength after Abel Hernández renewed Liverpool de Montevideo with his club, and thus everything accelerated, even more so when it was Paqui himself who said yes for the arrival of “Toro.”
The former forward of Colo-Colo, Unión La Calera, Palestino, Curicó Unidos and Independiente de Avellaneda, will compete for the title with Arnaldo Castillo, Esteban Calderón and MatÃas Belmar, the other center forwards that the celestial institution has.
Benegas will be officially announced by the club in the next few hours.
