Claudio Pizarro surprised all Peruvians after Werder Bremen officially announced his signing for the 2018-19 season, which will be the last of his career, as confirmed by the 39-year-old striker himself.
The top scorer in the history of the Bundesliga is delighted with the possibility of living his fourth stage in the green and white club, and he also revealed that he will not only be another player, as he has been entrusted with the task of helping the younger players in the team.
"I am delighted to have the opportunity to join the team again to finish my career at the club where I started in Europe. I am eager to share my experience, but I won't hide that I also come back to score goals," said Claudio Pizarro to Werder Bremen's official channel.
In this way, the 39-year-old Peruvian forward dismisses the speculation that he will return to Peru to finish his career at Alianza Lima, as rumored in recent years. He is very clear about his future.
Claudio Pizarro arrived at Werder Bremen for the first time in the 1999-2000 season from Alianza Lima. Until his last match in the 2016-17 season, the Peruvian had a total of 271 appearances, 144 goals, and 43 assists. In fact, the 'Bombardero' achieved the record of the highest foreign scorer in the Bundesliga wearing the German club's shirt.
