Although not much time has passed since this news, the historic top scorer of the Peruvian national team was linked to Emelec, considering that they are looking for a striker. However, it was rumored from Ecuador itself that 'Los Azules' have decided not to sign him due to the high cost. They also have other priorities and they are waiting for the loan of a Uruguayan player.
"Another news confirmed by the Emelec leadership is the lack of interest in signing Peruvian forward Paolo Guerrero, who ended his contract with Racing de Avellaneda. The age, 39 years old, and the cost of the negotiation would be the points against him," ESPN in Ecuador reported.
With this, it is clear that the 39-year-old striker will now have to continue waiting for his agent to see the best options or for other teams to come up with a proposal. For now, he is in Brazil, a country where he has spent a long time playing for clubs like Corinthians, Flamengo, Internacional, and Avaí.
How did Paolo Guerrero perform at Racing?
Finally, it is necessary to indicate that initially Paolo Guerrero generated a lot of expectations when he arrived at Racing, but in recent weeks he began to be criticized for his low goal tally. In the 22 games he played (7 as a starter), he only scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists.
