César Huerta is the big story of the day in the Mexican football media, with multiple reports today stating the winger has been on the verge of a move to English football, only for it all to collapse as quickly as it had started.

The gist of the story is that Club Universidad Nacional, better known as Pumas, were in negotiations to sell the player to Liverpool and he was getting ready to travel to Europe to complete the deal before the window closed.




However, he was set to immediately go out on loan, and with a Championship club wanted, it was Sunderland who were selected.

Journalist Rodrigo Celorio, who works for TUDN – one of Mexico’s biggest sport outlets, says the Sunderland moved collapsed because Regis Le Bris didn’t approve the transfer.

There’s been other takes offered, but Celorio is the more mainstream of the media in Mexico, and his take is that Le Bris vetoed the Sunderland transfer and therefore the whole thing collapsed.
