Last Wednesday, Paolo Guerrero was officially presented as a new player for Avaí FC on social media and, on the other hand, Júlio Cesar Heerdt, president of the Brazilian club, talked exclusively with Fútbol Como Cancha from RPP Noticias about the signing of the 'Depredador'.
"Paolo is currently training. We hope he helps us in the Brazilian tournament, we need goals and we are very happy with his arrival," said Heerdt on RPP Noticias.
Regarding the process, Heerdt said: "We had the contract with Paolo Guerrero for some time. We had been negotiating for a month or a month and a half. And his contract goes until the end of November, when the Brazilian championship ends."
About the current state of the Peruvian player, the executive stated: "Paolo Guerrero is already 38 years old, he doesn't have the same youth but he has experience. He has been out for a long time, but technically he is fine and in very good physical shape. He can play football to the fullest."
Finally, Heerdt revealed that the 'Depredador' had a lot of hope to play in the Qatar 2022 World Cup: "When we talked to Paolo at the beginning, he told us that he had the will to play in the Qatar 2022 World Cup with Peru, and it was a great sadness that they did not qualify."
