In that sense, Marcello Merizalde from Líbero could learn that the beer team would be negotiating the arrival of a forward who previously played for Universitario and Alianza Lima. In this way, this player would compete for a place with Joffre Escobar and Irven Ávila next season.
This is Adrián Ugarriza, who has belonged to Cienciano since mid-2020 and still has a valid contract. The forward, who has also played for teams such as UTC, Real Garcilaso (Cusco FC), and San Martín, scored 10 goals in 32 matches throughout this year.
It is worth noting that Ugarriza has admitted to being a fan of 'U' on more than one occasion. Even so, the player has had no problem defending the shirt of Alianza Lima and other Peruvian clubs on more than one occasion.
