Now, according to journalist Denilson Barrenechea, he has caught the attention of a Mexican team. It is a champion club that has been able to lift the trophy in front of their fans 8 times, and they want to build a team to compete this season.
This team is Santos Laguna, which has closely followed the 25-year-old winger after a brief spell at Pumas in Mexico. However, the negotiations may not succeed due to the closing of the transfer window in Peruvian football, as Sporting Cristal does not have enough time to find an ideal replacement.
"Santos Laguna is really interested in Washington Corozo, but the timing for Sporting Cristal complicates the operation. We have spoken with the player's representatives and it is going well. There is still no concrete offer to the club's board. Developing story. Santos is also considering other options in case they can't secure the services of the Ecuadorian winger, as it is relatively difficult due to timing" , said journalist Denilson Barrenechea.
