UNAM Pumas and Toluca got new goalkeepers after trading their respective starting keepers from last season, both of whom are named Alfredo. Toluca and Mexico National team veteran Alfredo Talavera will be Pumas’ starting keeper after arriving in CDMX in exchange for keeper Alfredo Saldivar, who was Pumas’ starting keeper last season even after getting heavily criticized in past seasons. Pumas also acquired another keeper from Toluca, Ramon Pasquel, who comes on loan. Pasquel would be a boost compared to keepers like Jose Castillo, who never challenged Saldivar even when the latter struggled.
Alfredo Talavera has been one of the top keepers in Mexico this past decade.
