Now, in an interview with the radio program "Último al Arco" in his country, former Atletico Madrid player surprised by confirming that he has been in contact with a former forward of Sporting Cristal and that he tried to sign him for the Montevideo Wanderers in his native Uruguay.
This is Sergio Ruben Blanco, a former footballer who was at the "rimense" club during 2014 and 2015. "In these hours, the only person who contacted me from Uruguay was 'Chapita' Blanco to go to Wanderers," revealed Luis Suarez in the aforementioned conversation.
Currently, Ruben Blanco, already retired from soccer, now works as a youth coach for the Wanderers. That is why he took advantage of his connections to try to convince the historic scorer of the Uruguayan National Team to sign for the 'Bohemios' team, although it is a somewhat distant option for the interests of the former Barcelona player from Spain.
What titles did 'Chapita' Blanco win with Sporting Cristal?
The popular 'Chapita' played with the sky blue jersey a total of 59 games, in which he scored 19 goals and provided 7 assists. Thanks to these numbers, the team from Rimac won the national championship of Peru in 2014 and the Apertura Tournament of 2015.
What is the value of Luis Suarez?
Luis Suarez has a value of 8 million euros at 35 years old. The "Transfermarkt" portal indicates that his highest value was achieved in the 2015 season, when he was worth 90 million euros.
