Santiago García was one of the most talked-about reinforcements for Alianza Lima for the current 2023 season, but injuries kept him away from the pitch for many games, to the point of missing a large part of the second half of the Liga 1 season.
And this has led to much speculation as to whether the 35-year-old defender will continue in 2024, since everything indicates that there will be several departures from the Victorican institution.
For this reason, his representative Narciso Algamis spoke about this issue and assured that, for now, it is understood that Santiago García will continue with the team, mainly because he has a valid contract.
He also emphasized that the former Werder Bremen player is already working alongside his teammates and hopes that he will be able to reach the finals of the Liga 1 against Universitario de Deportes.
"He has a contract, at least for next year he should be with Alianza, because he has a contract. He is already fine, already training with the ball, I think he already joined the group, hopefully he will reach the finals, he is a player who responded and is different. Unfortunately, he experienced what happened to him in his knee", he said on Radio Ovación.
