José Cuenú: Barranquilla’s Rising Star to Brazil 2026? | Colombian Soccer

Atlético Junior is preparing to play the final of the BetPlay II-2025 League, in which the year-end star will play against Deportes Tolima. The shark will win its eleventh title in the First Division, and that is why it will seek to take advantage in the first leg, which will be played this Friday, December 12 at the Metropolitano stadium in Barranquilla.

Although in the squad led by the Uruguayan Alfredo Arias, everyone dreams of becoming champions, there is one player who, regardless of whether he is crowned, would already be holding talks with a Brazilian soccer team, to make the international leap in his career in the 2026 season.

According to information from journalist Felipe Sierra, defender José Cuenú is being targeted by a team in Brazil, as he knows that his contract with the Barranquilla team ends on December 31.

The 30-year-old central defender could sign with Operário Ferroviário, a Serie B team that is ready to advance in negotiations, once Junior plays the last game of the Colombian championship final.

In Ferroviário the coffee grower Juan Pablo Zuluaga plays, and the attacker Edwin Torres has just arrived as a brand new signing, from Alianza FC Valledupar.
