In the last few weeks, Paolo Guerrero went through one of the most difficult chapters of his professional football career. Unfortunately, the Peruvian player was relegated with Avaí, a club that was playing in the Brazilian league.
The constant injuries may have also taken a toll on the national striker, as based on that, he could not secure a starting position with his team. Specifically, Antonio Conte, a journalist from Radio Jornal de Commercio, has been responsible for sharing his opinion about Guerrero's current situation through an interview with our special envoy to Qatar, Carlos Salinas.
"At 38 years old, I'm not sure if Paolo Guerrero has the technical level to stay in the Brazilian First Division. Everyone agrees he is in the final stretch of his career, it would be more interesting for him to look for new opportunities. In Brazilian football, it seems he is not finding a regular spot even in a lower-tier team like Avaí," Conte said.
Undoubtedly, the pressman could not hide his concern about Paolo Guerrero's current situation: "It is surprising because we are talking about a player who for a long time was one of the main goal scorers in Brazil. A highly sought-after player with a high salary," he concluded.
