Alliance Lima did not finish as expected the Opening Tournament, and that is because after losing 1-0 to Deportivo Binacional in Juliaca, Carlos Bustos' team ran out of chances to win the first title of the year and now they will only have to play to complete the calendar.
However, the goal for the end of the 2022 season remains the national championship of the Liga 1, and that is why in order to give a better performance and fight in the Closing Tournament, the 'intimos' seek to finalize the arrival of an Ecuadorian player who at his best was valued at 5.50 million euros, when he played in England.
YOU CAN SEE: These are the reinforcements that could arrive at Alliance Lima for the Closing Tournament
This is the left winger Jefferson Montero, 32 years old, who had an extensive career in LaLiga of Spain, specifically in the clubs Villareal, Levante, Real Betis, Getafe of Spain. But also, he played for Swansea City, which currently plays in the second division of England.
Montero was one of the best attacking players that the Ecuadorian National Team had in the last decade, which is why he faced the Brazil 2014 World Cup with the 'Tricolor' squad, as well as the 2015 and 2016 Copa America, and also the World Cup qualifiers for the 2010, 2014, and 2018.
Jefferson Montero would arrive for free at Alliance Lima
Diario Líbero was able to learn that in La Victoria they have a strong interest in Montero and there have already been initial contacts with the player's environment, however, it is still unknown if there has been a formal offer from the 'intimos'.
However, this could change in the next few hours since the Ecuadorian finished his contract with Querétaro in Mexico on June 21st and is now a free agent, according to El Universo. This news could facilitate any negotiation between both parties and would avoid paying an important clause for the player's transfer card.
How much is the player's transfer worth?
Currently, Jefferson Montero is valued at 525,000 dollars, according to Transfermarkt. However, at the peak of his career, his transfer value rose to 5.50 million euros.
