Adrián Fernández renewed with Alianza Atlético until 2023, following rumors with 'U' (referring to Club Universitario de Deportes).

The Paraguayan Adrián Fernández joins Alianza Atlético

Paraguayan forward Adrián Fernández joined Alianza Atlético at the beginning of 2022 and quickly showed his qualities as a goal scorer. Due to his good performance, the Paraguayan striker garnered interest from Sporting Cristal in the middle of the year; and, in recent weeks, from Universitario, but he will finally stay in Sullana.

Through their social media, the Piura club announced that the 30-year-old footballer agreed to extend his contract until the end of 2023. 'Vendaval' announced the news with a video showcasing some of the goals scored by the experienced attacker throughout the season.

Let's remember that Adrián Fernández recorded nine goals and two assists in the 26 matches he played in the Liga 1. The forward's contribution was key for Alianza Atlético to maintain a high position in the table, although the outcome was not as expected: the team failed to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana due to a worse goal difference.

It is worth mentioning that the 'Churres' have been making several changes to their squad for the upcoming season. One of the most remarkable novelties 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 crucial in determining the renewal of Róger Torres and Jeremy Canela. On the other hand, it has been 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.
