Edgar Benitez
Edgar Benitez would finally have everything on track to return to the field. After winning the championship with Alianza Lima in 2021, the Paraguayan played a little more time in La Victoria and left halfway through the year, so he remained active for several months doing training on his own, and now he is very close to signing with a club that achieved promotion to the first division in the last campaign.

At 35 years old, the World Cup player with the 'Albirroja' would forget about Peruvian football and return to his country's championship. And it's because Sportivo Luqueño, the club where he was before wearing the blanquiazul shirt, would be interested in having his services again after statements from the coach.
"It's a possibility that can be resolved in these days. I think it should be resolved today or tomorrow, whether he arrives or not to the team," said Gustavo Florentín in an interview with Deportes Uno.

As seen in Paraguay, the 'Auriazul' squad returned to the top category after a good year, where they achieved 18 wins, 7 draws, and 5 defeats. That is why they have the desire to build a great team and fight for big things, like getting into an international tournament or fighting at the top.
Finally, it is important to mention that Edgar Benitez could not renew his contract with Alianza Lima due to details, but he did become a reference and a key player during the year and a half he was there. He played 38 matches, scored 3 times, and had the same number of assists.
