Nilson Loyola started the season as an undisputed starter for Sporting Cristal, however, recently he has not been able to get minutes with coach Tiago Nunes, so everything points to the fact that the celestial store is considering his replacement.
In fact, according to sports journalist Denilson Barrenechea, the player that the celestial store likes is the Argentine Nicolás Pasquini, who is currently part of Talleres de Córdoba. In that sense, the conversations with the player would be advanced, and he would stay in La Florida for a year.
It is worth mentioning that other players who were previously rumored for the position include Luciano Juba and Claudio Corvalán. However, the management would have finally decided to sign Pasquini, a 32-year-old defender who has also previously worn the shirts of teams such as Lanús and Estudiantes La Plata.
Although Pasquini has been indispensable in various clubs throughout his professional career, his present in Talleres is not the best, since he has only played 8 matches so far in the 2023 season. Therefore, the defender would have his first international experience in Sporting Cristal.
