Pumas face possible loss of defender Rubén Duarte to UD Almería

UNAM Pumas are reshaping their defense under new manager Esteban Solari, with defender Rubén Duarte linked to a move to UD Almería. The Spanish side seeks to add an experienced back‑line player and has opened formal talks with the Mexican international.

Should Duarte complete the transfer, Pumas would be left with a notable gap in their defensive setup. The final decision is expected to be clarified in the coming weeks.
