Paolo Guerrero did not reject Alianza Lima's offer to return to Peruvian football for monetary reasons, but rather valued the sporting aspect more. This was stated by Brazilian journalist Raisa Simplicio, who, through her social networks, affirmed that the salary that the blanquiazul club proposed to the 'Depredador' was much higher than what he currently earns at Avaí FC.
“Alianza Lima was willing to pay Paolo Guerrero almost double what he currently earns at Avaí. However, the striker chose to continue in a more competitive football and made the right decision with the Ressacada team," tweeted the Goal Brasil journalist.
The all-time leading scorer of the Peruvian national team was one of the signings that interested the management of the íntimo team to face the Torneo Clausura. However, the player preferred to wait for the opening of the transfer window in Brazilian football to continue his career in the league where he arrived almost 10 years ago.

After leaving Internacional de Porto Alegre in October 2021, Guerrero spent all these months without a club to focus on recovering from his injury. Last Saturday, he was officially presented to the Leão da Ilha fans, although he had already started training with the team a couple of days earlier.
