The difficult situation of Peruvian forward Paolo Guerrero

Sports journalist Omar Ruiz de Somocurcio commented on the complicated situation of Peruvian forward Paolo Guerrero, who at 39 years old has still not been able to find a team to continue his career in 2023 after leaving Avaí, where he failed to score a single goal and ended up with the team being relegated.

Through his social media accounts, the host of "Teledeportes" stated that it was a "mistake" on the part of "El Depredador" to return to Brazilian football, rejecting the offer from Alianza Lima, which sought to sign him in August of last year.

"Paolo Guerrero made a mistake with that decision (going to Avaí), he could have played for Alianza Lima, which wanted him, pursued him, and maybe he could have done better in the Peruvian league. He could have been a champion with Alianza, maybe he could have played in the Copa Libertadores with Alianza, and now the situation is complicated," he explained on his TikTok account, which you can watch here.

Possible retirement

Additionally, after negotiations with Racing Club of Argentina fell through, the journalist indicated that Guerrero Gonzáles might consider "hanging up his boots" if he doesn't find a club in the next few weeks.

"There was talk of Racing de Avellaneda but in the end, they didn't consider him. At his age, with his experience, and the knee problems he apparently has, many think it could be the end [...] If Paolo doesn't find a club in the next few weeks, unfortunately, I imagine he will be thinking about saying goodbye to the pitches," he stated.
