Alianza Lima is already planning the Clausura Tournament and in terms of reinforcements, the priority is to hire a right back. These are some resumes that have arrived at Matute's offices, while other names have emerged despite there being no contacts or any real interest in these players.
YOU CAN SEE: He played with Diego Forlán, lost two finals with Alianza and is now retired from football.
Recall that the Albo team did not sign a natural right back because they trusted Oslimg Mora, who despite having a more offensive vocation, had performed as a wing-back last season when Alianza Lima won the national championship.
In this 2022, Mora has not shown his best version, so Carlos Bustos has improvised Yordi Vílchez and Renato Rojas, who are central defenders, as full-backs.
Everything points to the fact that a right back will be signed anyway, and there are up to five players who have appeared in recent days as possibilities. Undoubtedly, the most controversial is Jhilmar Lora from Sporting Cristal.
Jhilmar Lora
What is known is that the right back is not happy with Roberto Mosquera. They have a bad relationship and he wants to leave the Rimense team. However, he has a contract with the club until 2023 and at the moment the directors have no intention of letting him go, especially to strengthen a direct rival in the fight for the title at the end of the season.
Pedro Perlaza
According to the information that LÍBERO has learned, this 31-year-old Ecuadorian has been offered to the blanquiazul management. His last club was Independiente del Valle, where according to reports from the press in his country, he was separated due to alleged indiscipline. He has played three matches for the Ecuadorian national team.
Leonardo Jara
According to the Azul y Blanco magazine, another name that appears on the radar is Leonardo Jara, a 31-year-old Argentine footballer who currently plays for Vélez Sarsfield, where he is a substitute. The 'Comodín' has a past in Boca Juniors.
Pablo Cárdenas
Another name that has emerged and has gained strength as an option in recent hours. He was born in Chile, his father is Peruvian, and he is already processing his ID for any call from La Victoria. Last year, he was an undisputed starter at Cobresal, playing up to 30 matches, but in 2022 he has been a substitute. So far, there has been no contact with his club and his arrival would be almost ruled out.
Franco Medina
A former Alianza Lima player who had a good start to the season with Deportivo Municipal. However, his contract with the Albo team ended last year and today his transfer is owned by the 'Edil' team. He is 21 years old and has also played for César Vallejo. It is an option that is liked, but it would not be viable because he has a contract with the 'Academia' until 2022.
Next match of Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima will return to action on Sunday, June 26, starting at 18:00 hours, when they face Ayacucho FC at Matute, in a match valid for the 18th round of the 2022 Liga 1 Apertura Tournament.
