The choice of Anderlecht over Osasuna
According to information from the transfer specialist Cesar Luis MerloHuerta decided to bet on Anderlecht due to the opportunities that the club offers to play in European competitions. Currently, the Belgian team occupies third place in the Jupiler Pro League and also competes in the UEFA Europa League, where it is in a prominent position.
On the contrary, Osasuna, although it is in eighth place in LaLiga, does not participate in European tournaments this season, which reduces its attractiveness for a player who seeks to show himself on the most important stages of continental football.
Tournaments he could play with Anderlecht
Huerta's decision is also based on Anderlecht's track record as one of Belgium's most successful clubs. Although it has not won the local league since 2017, the team has maintained its international relevance, with three European titles: the UEFA Cup in 1983, the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1976 and 1978, and two UEFA Super Cups in 1976 and 1978.
In the current season, Anderlecht has a high chance of securing a place in the final stages of the Europa League. It is currently in third place, surpassing the scores of teams of the caliber of Manchester United, Tottenham, Ajax and Porto. For Huerta, this would be an unbeatable opportunity to demonstrate his talent before a global audience and establish himself as a Mexican reference in the old continent.
