Sporting Cristal left a good impression in the 2019 campaign, as they came very close to winning the Liga 1 in that season, but unfortunately, Alianza Lima eliminated them with an aggregate score of 2-1 in the playoff semifinals. However, in that squad, there was a player who performed well and is now very close to playing in Saudi Arabia.

In that brewer's squad, we could find the name of Uruguayan forward Cristian Palacios, who joined the Celeste club at the beginning of 2019 to strengthen the attack. The Uruguayan played 48 matches, scored 20 goals, and provided 3 assists, numbers that met the expectations of his signing.
However, the player did not continue at La Florida for the following season, so in 2020 he moved to the Unión Española in Chile, where he played until the end of 2021.
Cristian Palacios received an offer from Saudi Arabia
In 2022, the 1.71-meter-tall player plays for U. de Chile and according to information from Chilean journalist Ramiro Ferreyra, the Uruguayan forward now has high chances of joining a club in the Saudi Professional League in Saudi Arabia, a league that has reportedly presented a substantial economic offer that would benefit both the forward and the 'U'.
What is the value of Cristian Palacios?
Currently, the popular "Chorri" has a value of 800,000 euros according to the "Transfermarkt" portal. His highest figure was when he joined Sporting Cristal, with a value of 1.25 million euros.
