Paraguayan Adrián Fernández joined the ranks of Alianza Atlético at the beginning of 2022 and quickly showed his qualities as a scorer. Due to his good campaign, the Paraguayan forward attracted the interest of Sporting Cristal in mid-year, and in recent weeks, of Universitario, but he will finally stay in Sullana.
Through their social networks, the Piura club announced that the 30-year-old footballer agreed to extend his contract throughout 2023. The 'Vendaval' shared the news with a video of some of the goals scored by the experienced attacker throughout the season.
It is worth mentioning that Adrián Fernández scored nine goals and provided two assists in the 26 matches he played in the Liga 1. The forward's contribution was key for Alianza Atlético to stay in the top zone of the table, although the outcome was not as expected: the team failed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana due to a lower goal difference.
It should be mentioned that the 'Churres' have been making several changes to their squad for the upcoming season. One of the most remarkable news is the arrival of coach Carlos Desio, who was previously in charge of Deportivo Binacional and Sport Huancayo.
Precisely, the arrival of the strategist was also key in determining the renewal of Róger Torres and Jeremy Canela. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the following players will not continue at Alianza Atlético: Diego Penny, Marcio Valverde, Kleiber Palomino, Mauricio Montes, Franco Zanelatto, Joyce Conde, Juan Diego Lojas, Rafael Guarderas, Kevin Ruiz, Jesús Arismendi, Willy Pretel, Ignacio Araujo, Jonathan Bilbao, and Maxi Amondarain.
