Reports: Pedro Vite reaches verbal agreement with Pumas in Liga MX, set to leave Vancouver Whitecaps

<p>Pedro Vite is enjoying one of the best stretches of his young career, and after a strong run with the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Ecuadorian midfielder appears to be headed to Liga MX.</p><p>According to MLS insider Tom Bogert, Vite has reached a verbal agreement with Pumas UNAM, although the deal is not finalized. Sources indicate that the transfer could be completed soon, pending final negotiations and paperwork.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pumas targeted Vite earlier this year when they faced the Whitecaps in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, a tournament in which the Canadian side eventually fell to Cruz Azul in the final.</p><p>According to <strong>GOAL</strong> sources, Pumas plan to use the Ecuadorian primarily as a winger, though he can also slot into midfield. His versatility is seen as a major asset by head coach Efraín Juárez, who views him as a projected starter.</p><p>With Aaron Ramsey expected to anchor the midfield, Vite would provide depth and rotation options. If the Welshman - or any of the regular starters - struggles with form or fitness, Vite’s ability to play centrally could prove crucial and give Pumas more tactical flexibility.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pedro Vite could become Pumas’ most expensive signing, with the club reportedly ready to pay around $5 million to secure the midfielder - a figure that would surpass the $4.2 million they spent on Nicolás Castillo.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Juárez’s side endured a humbling start to the Apertura 2025, losing 3-0 on the road against Santos Laguna. They’ll look to bounce back Sunday when they host Pachuca.</p>
