The Peruvian National Team's midfielder, Christian Cueva, is now on his way to Russia to join the ranks of Krasnodar club in the Premier League of that country, after terminating his contract with Brazilian Sao Paulo.
Christian Cueva's flight departs at 19:30 hours this Monday. The skillful midfielder of the Peruvian National Team arrived at Jorge Chavez International Airport and received greetings from the present fans, although some reminded him of the penalty he missed against Denmark which determined the fate of the 'Blanquirroja' in the 2018 World Cup.
Paolo Hurtado went to Matute and filled himself with energy to the rhythm of one of Alianza's most popular songs.
The popular 'Aladino', whose transfer to Krasnodar cost about 8 million dollars, travels with the hope of settling in Europe, after a failed attempt with Rayo Vallecano in Spain in 2013. Then he went through Alianza Lima, Toluca, and Sao Paulo.
Christian Cueva will have to undergo medical examinations, sign his contract, get to know the facilities of his new club, and be introduced to the media on Tuesday or Wednesday.
