In the days prior, Affonso revealed the foreign proposal that would take him to foreign lands. "The possibility of leaving is there, the offer came a few days ago. It's nice for me and also for Alianza, because of the income it will have. I'm waiting for it to be confirmed in the next few days to see if my departure happens. I don't know if I will be here this weekend. We're discussing it with the club," he said.
The club reciprocated the farewell to the striker by dedicating emotional words to one of the great figures of the blanquiazul club. Through their social media, Alianza Lima dedicated a heartfelt farewell message to him.
