Pablo Lavandeira did not have the opportunities he expected in the first semester of the year with Alianza Lima despite being one of the pillars of the blanquiazul's bicampeonato in 2022. That's why the Uruguayan midfielder couldn't continue in the club for the rest of this season.
Given the few opportunities he obtained during the Torneo Apertura, Lavandeira made the decision to sign with Melgar for the second half of 2023. In this way, the midfielder hopes to recover his best form to achieve the title with his new team.
In fact, in the match against Atlético Grau, the Peruvian-naturalized Uruguayan surprised by scoring his first goal with the 'Dominó' shirt. Afterwards, he commented on his good moment and left positive words for the Arequipa club:
"I want to thank the club and coaching staff for trusting me. It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable in a squad," said the former blanquiazul midfielder after the 'León del Sur's' victory at home.
These statements had a significant impact, to the point that the player himself had to use his social networks to put an end to the generated controversy. "Squad, read well the ill-intentioned ones who seek to generate controversy. Squad is different from club, for those who may not know," he posted on an Instagram story.
Throughout his career as a professional footballer, Pablo Lavandeira has belonged to a large number of top-level teams. These are some of the institutions that have had him in their ranks:
- Peñarol
- Tacuarembó

- Cerro Largo
