No fue una gran cantidad. Melgar from Arequipa will seek to extend its historic participation in the Copa Sudamericana and, for that, it needs to defeat Internacional in the quarterfinals. The Brazilian team is not unknown in national territory, beyond having faced other Peruvian clubs in international tournaments, although there were also Inca footballers who managed to play for the Porto Alegre team.
The most remembered case is that of Paolo Guerrero. The 38-year-old forward wore the red shirt between 2018 and 2021, after his time at Flamengo. Although the all-time top scorer for the Peruvian national team could not win titles during his stay, his good performances earned him the affection of the fans.

Unlike the former Alianza Lima player, the stay of Martín Hidalgo at Inter was very short but more fruitful. During the 12 months he was there, the former Sporting Cristal full-back won the 2006 Club World Cup after defeating Ronaldinho's Barcelona 1-0.
