Still in the spotlight. Despite the priority being the economic issue and the renewal of the main players who won the national title, Alianza Lima has not stopped thinking about reinforcements.
Although some players who were considered have already signed with other teams, Matute hopes that negotiations with the players on the list can be finalized.
In all lines
One of the players that interests Alianza Lima the most is the Argentine midfielder Tomas Costa, with whom there has already been contact and his arrival could happen in the coming days.
Tomas Costa is a mixed midfielder, with good aerial play and a powerful long-range shot. The Argentine, who worked with Pablo Bengoechea, would be the first foreign player for the 'grones' to face 2018.
But Costa is not the only one who would arrive in the midfield, as Mario Velarde is on the right track and in the coming days would sign the contract that is already prepared in the Matute offices.
Zela is just one step away
However, the midfield is not the only area where options are being considered, as they also want a player who can contribute in defense. That's why they have their eyes on Adrián Zela to pair up with Miguel Araujo in central defense. The center-back has been contacted by Gustavo Zevallos and it is expected that he will give his response no later than Wednesday.
Another player who is an obsession for the Football Committee is Wilder Cartagena. The San Martín midfielder has not yet given a response to the 'grone' offer, but there is confidence that it will be positive.
