It took its toll on him. Paolo Guerrero announced a few days ago his signing with Avaí FC in Brazil and aroused great expectation among his followers. After overcoming a complicated injury, the historical scorer of the Peruvian national team will return to the playing fields and hopes to show his best level for the remainder of the season.
Despite the present happiness, the break that the 'Predator' had caused his market value to suffer a hard fall. At the beginning of 2021, while facing his last months at Internacional de Porto Alegre, the striker had a value of 1 million euros.
At that time, the player continued with his recovery from the ligament rupture he suffered and managed to play in some matches. In October of that year, he decided to join the national team to face the qualifiers, and during the match against Chile, his injury worsened: this determined his departure from the Colorado team.

After 9 months, as revealed by the Transfermarkt portal, the experienced 38-year-old striker has a price of 250,000 euros. An amount that is far from his previous valuations when he played for teams like Corinthians or Flamengo.

When will Paolo Guerrero debut with Avaí FC?
The doctor of Leão da Ilha mentioned that Guerrero has already recovered from his knee injury; however, he emphasized that he will need some time to adapt before returning to the field. It is expected that the former attacker of Alianza Lima will be used as a substitute for the remainder of the Brasileirao. His debut could take place in the following weeks.
