'The 'Poet' strengthens: Edgar Benítez will be César Vallejo's new signing with views on the Liga 1 Betsson.'

In the first part of the season, Universidad César Vallejo had two challenges: to compete in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana (they have one remaining match) and in the Torneo Apertura of the Liga 1 Betsson. Internationally, they are in third place, with four points; locally, they finished in sixth place, with 27 points. So, in the midst of this situation, the Trujillo club already has the signing of Edgar Benítez ready. Yes, the Paraguayan midfielder who achieved the double championship with Alianza Lima.

According to Depor, the Paraguayan winger has already reached an agreement with the Trujillo team to defend their colors in the Torneo Clausura. He has even said goodbye to his teammates at General Caballero (Paraguay), the team he was playing for after leaving Alianza Lima (2022).

Edgar Benítez left a good impression in his recent spell in the Liga 1 Betsson, so the coaching staff of Universidad César Vallejo, led by Sebastián Abreu, had no doubts about signing him. Pay attention to one detail, in the last hours, the Uruguayan midfielder Ángel Rodríguez has confirmed his departure.

It should be noted that General Caballero finished in ninth place in the Paraguayan league, with 24 points: they recorded six victories, six draws, and ten defeats in the championship. The 'Pájaro' played ten matches with his former team, although he couldn't score, a figure he will try to improve in his new adventure in Peruvian football.

Benítez's records with Alianza Lima

During Edgar Benítez's last stage with Alianza Lima, specifically in the Torneo Apertura 2022, the Paraguayan scored one goal and provided two assists (he played 14 matches). In total, the 'Pájaro' played 658 minutes with the 'íntimos'. And although his performance was average, the blanquiazul board decided not to extend his contract with the argument of reducing the squad's average age.
