Sporting Cristal: Will Carlos Lobatón continue with the "rimense" team in 2018? [VIDEO]

They had already decided: they do not want their references to end their relationship with Sporting Cristal on a bad note. That's why they got to work in La Florida and sought to renew the contracts of the experienced players.

Jorge Cazulo has already agreed to continue: after the match against Union Comercio, in which they qualified for the Sudamericana, 'Piqui' accepted that he will stay for all of 2018.

But there is one missing: Carlos Lobatón. Negotiations will begin this week. "He has made a legacy in Sporting Cristal. He has been a key piece and architect of the club's history and recent championships. We will try to give him what he deserves. He has a life plan. We will try to align his plan with the club's, so that the relationship can endure over time, in whatever position it may be," said Alfonso García Miró, the team's sports manager, to La Luz Noticias.

In early 2017, there was talk of the possibility of hanging up his boots, but that is ruled out. "Carlos has the illusion of playing one more year. We want to continue and give him space, for when he decides to stop playing, and he can work in the club in the best area and field for him. We want to make a plan together so that everything is agreed upon." The Florida will be a decisive week.
