Cienciano did not show up in their debut in the Liga 1, but later they played two matches and won them convincingly. After that, they are one of the clubs favored to win the title at the end of the year, thanks to the good performances of their players.
In that context, the top scorer of the 'Papá de América' revealed that, at one point, Universitario approached him to have him as their '9' and thus fight for the long-awaited 27th star. However, he pointed out that unfortunately it didn't happen and now he is very happy to wear the colors of the Peruvian team.
"There was an inquiry from the people of 'U', but it didn't depend on me. Unfortunately, it didn't materialize, but everything happens for a reason. I am happy to be with Cienciano."
As it could be seen, it is Carlos Garcés, an Ecuadorian forward who emphasized that the decision did not go through him, as it was a matter that his representative was handling. However, he clarified that he is living a good present with the team and has aspirations for more.
Finally, it is important to mention that the striker has scored 3 goals in two matches and is the current top scorer of Cienciano in the 2023 season.
