Facundo Parra has spoken out on his prospective move from Independiente to 2011 Copa Sudamericana champions Universidad de Chile.

Following a series of impressive performances throughout 2011, La U have been unable to refuse a number of offers for the stars of that campaign.

Following Eduardo Vargas' move to Napoli and Marcos Gonzalez transfer to Flamengo, the Chilean champions have most recently lost striker Gustavo Canales to Chinese side Dalian Aerbin.

Speculation has surrounded the Independiente striker who has been touted as a potential replacement for Canales.

Parra told Radio Cooperativa: "Right now I'm going out to meet with my representative, but I'm still not quite sure how things are.

"The offer is interesting, but as long as [Parra's agent] 'Leo' doesn't tell me anything I cannot get ahead of myself."

Should the move go ahead, Parra will become the eighth new arrival for the Azul alongside new-signings Dayro Moreno and Raul Ruidiaz.
