Melgar is one step away from the national title of the 2022 season after losing the final against Alianza Lima. Several players stood out in Melgar's squad, including Luis Iberico, who was key in eliminating Sporting Cristal in the semifinals.
Although he has a contract with the Arequipa club until the end of 2023, Iberico could make the leap to foreign football thanks to his good performance in the local tournament and his presence in the Peruvian National Team.
Nick Negrini, a Peruvian journalist residing in the United States and founder of Pulso Sports Peru, indicated that Iberico is being watched by several teams from Major League Soccer (MLS). "He is being followed by several MLS teams. It could be a good showcase," he said in an interview with RPP Deportes.
"There are three teams," he added to the program Fútbol como Cancha.
Iberico in the Peruvian National Team
Since Juan Reynoso took over as coach, Luis Iberico has been called up again for the Peruvian National Team. All this after Ricardo Gareca's era ended.
Iberico scored the winning goal for the national team in the friendly against Bolivia at the Monumental de la UNSA stadium on November 19.
