The cost of a goal and Alianza Lima's challenge to retain Pablo Sabbag
Alianza Lima knows very well that a goal comes at a cost. That is why they have to think of a way to retain Pablo Sabbag, the Colombian forward who has been valued at two million dollars by La Equidad, the club that owns his contract until the end of 2025.
In La Victoria, they have no doubt about the scoring ability of 'El Jeque', who has scored 10 goals with the victorian shirt - nine in Liga 1 and one in Copa - but has had injury problems that have kept him from his best form in the blanquiazul team.
Last March, it was the Colombian club itself that set the price for the striker. Now, the Alianza Lima board has until November 30th to exercise the buyout option stipulated in the clause they signed with La Equidad when they requested the loan of the 'cafetero' forward.
For now, Pablo Sabbag is a key piece in the project of Uruguayan coach, Mauricio Larriera, who believes that the striker will recover from his injury and lead them to the national title. That's why Alianza Lima is not desperate and will try to reach a good agreement with La Equidad president, Carlos Mario Zuluaga, to extend the loan for another season.
Currently, since his signing with Alianza in January 2023, Pablo Sabbag has had a significant increase in his market value.
